    Fine? As in, really OK or just glossing over everything with "I'm fine"?
    Glad you're friend is coming over...

    Really ok, I promise
    The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.

    So, mum’s had her MRI results. She has extensive arthritis in her spine and some bony spurs. The main issue is she has two slipped discs in her lower back. One of the bulging discs is pressing on nerves and slightly on her spinal cord. She’s been given a few options and has decided to have surgery - though it’s not as dramatic as it sounds, apparently with this type of surgery she can be done and home in a day

    I'm glad there is a solution to some of the problem. Hopefully surgery will greatly reduce her pain

    My neurologist has referred me to Southampton to have a LP under X-ray, so that he can get a clear idea what’s going on

    No. It should be easier with X-ray. Si didn’t want me to take it up as I don’t have any symptoms now but I have said that this has been going on for 3 years and most of that time I didn’t have any symptoms. And I’m worried about my eyes. So, I want to take up any tests they want to throw at me - I need to know exactly what we’re dealing with
