Well post after post and finally here, I have an operation on Saturday to remove some herniated discs in my neck, going to be a busy last day at work tomorrow and friday to try and relax..... but I have one of the best surgeons in the Uk so its not all bad, should be out of action for around 2 months...
sadly I have found out today I also have a pretty big curvature in my lower spine and more potentially nackered discs so looks like more surgery at a later date. Well one step at a time, get the neck sorted and then the lower back, time to give the bike one last polish before the big off.... not even ridden it yet 
im having an artificial disc (perhaps 2) but they wont know until they are in there. Just hoping hospital food is better than last time 
worst part is there is no Wifi access
