Polar Bear Sighting in Benidorm!

[nick crisp]

I have a "bone" infection around the prosthesis in my arm/shoulder. Was told the only way to get rid of it would be to have the whole thing dismantled and cleaned up internally. The shoulder joint is fused, would mean cutting this, and so creating a new bone-to-bone interface, probably causing a lot more pain and discomfort than I currently have, and probably leading to further operations - no guarantees. I told them, no, I've lived with it for "x" years, it hasn't got any worse, I'll live with it til I do have further/greater problems. They said, right choice!
Back problems can be a real b*****d and I feel for this fella tho' I don't know him personally. Good luck Trev, hope all goes well and you make a good recovery.
