A pretty uneventful day really. Still in a lot of pain. In fact I seem to have more pain and less numbness than after the first round of surgery. Had an initial assessment from a physiotherapist but only took a couple of half steps before they told me to sit back on the bed and try another day.
Radiographer came to see me to go through the safety questions ahead of my MRI, and was told it could be anytime before about 9pm. 9.30pm arrived and when the drug round was being done I queried whether I should have the meds if I’m likely to have contrast during the scan. This immediately raised a concern with the nurse who said I couldn’t have an MRI because I’ve got metal staples in my back. Consequently the MRI was cancelled.
