Hi Jamie, that is EXCELLENT news about Jack mate!! An early christmas present! This is just the beginning and i really hope you continue to get recovery. While i was in the recovery stage the pain was worse than it is now, so hopefully your pain will go down as well. Good luck dude.

Posted on the other board to ya! Great News!!!!!

Jamie! This is GREAT! This is how it all starts! I am sure it is different with eveyrone but I do notice when I am getting more movement in my luck fin, my pain levels shoot through the roof! When I saw my doctor last week he reassured me on this on. So pain at times can be a good thing, thats what i have been told. I do agree with it too! Work through the pain, beat the #$@* out of whatever hurts, no more breaking bones! Work those muscles!!!! YEAH!!! Happy holidays to Gina too!

Hey Jamie, what great news....congrats to you and Jack. To me this is the best news I can have to keep me positive. We have the same injury, same op and same doc. This gives me something to look forward to and keep positive about. Saw Dr Tonkin Tuesday 14th Dec. Said things were going okay and not due to go back until end of March next year. Hopefully by then things might be on the move.....check your emails have sent some. To you, Gina and Jack have a wonderful Christmas and take care...regards Michael

That's awesome Jamie. Nice goin!

Hmm maybe thats enough to make me reconsider not getting surgery... nah
nice work though

CONGRATULATIONS JAMIE!!! I am so happy your prgress has started. How long ago was your op?
Merry Christmas to you both!
Bye
PS I met a lady in Emerald the other day with a RBPI. She had surgery with Dr Biggs 4 years ago. She can now shrug her shoulders which she coudn't before but not much else.
Anyway Bye

Jamie,
This is great news mate. I think Jack deserves something nice for Christmas. Maybe some of his favorite beer, eh. Tell me straight, do they really drink Fosters down under? What ever he wants, I say give it to him. And that wonderful wife, take good care of her. You guys have a wonderful Christmas and I hope you get everything you wish for...Karl...

Way to go, Jamie & Jack!

what a wonderful xmas present!

i remember when i noticed my index finger twitch for the first time - what a high! however, the pain did increase for a bit. mind you, having my physio poke, prod, bend and pull didn't help the pain either *grin*

the pain will lessen, but it's so worth it!

merry xmas to you, gina and jack!

hugs,

jan
