So I kinda forgot about this place for over a year (oops, but life got real haha).
Last time i checked in i was getting ready to have revision surgery on my rouge hooks in my neck.
All went very well. My surgery got delayed by 4 days, which for the NHS is very good turn around. only downside was i wouldnt have my normal team due to being placed on a different ward. The surgery went very well, couldn't have asked for better. I got placed in a neck brace for 3 months (i didnt use it for this long as my neck strengthened up enough to not need it in my eyes which i know is naughty but i couldnt stand it any longer than i used it. I was only going to be in for a day or two, but due to my wound not healing up properly i ended up being in a week due to it nearly constantly bleeding.
since then, life has been so much better. gone are the days i have excruciating neck pain due to spasming neck muscles etc. I can do sport without issue too now which is great. Only thing i havent tried since is running but that's hopefully going to happen very soon. I'm banned from full contact sports for life due to my neck being solidly fused now but i dont care about that. Hopefully, if everything keeps as it is, I'll get discharged in February (wooooo)
The only reason that made me check in was im still getting lung issues and exercise induced athma type stuff. Should i bring this up with my GP next time im in? or should this go once i've got my fitness back..?
