THE NEXT INSTALMENT....

I've received some relatively good news about my back.
I had an appointment with the pain clinic doctor on the 28th May which was the follow up from the epidural that I had on February 27th.
He asked how I was and I basically threw half a carrier bag full of medication on his desk and said how the hell do you think I am?

Any way he could see how much pain i was in so the first thing he did was write me a prescription for Morphine and then said he would get me an urgent MRI scan.This was around 2.30pm on Thursday.
True to his word I arrived back from the hospital at 3.15pm and my phone was ringing at 4.00pm asking if I could get to the hospital the next afternoon for an MRI.

As I've said I got the results and it appears I have a prominent disc bulge and a tear in the disc.I neglected to ask if this was separate discs or not but when he said I could be treated without major surgery I was happy.

I've got to go to Coventry for a procedure called an I.D.E.T which is a less complicated way of saying INTRADISCAL ELECTROTHERMAL THERAPY.

With this news and the 100mgs of morphine still fresh in my mind I felt the need to cook something.
As I've said before I do like to try things that I haven't tried before and today was no exception.
When a schoolboy some of my dinner money used to go towards a packet of Garibaldi Biscuits which I loved.My schoolfriends used to call them Squashed Flies.
I found a Marcus Wareing recipe and decided to give it a go.
As you can see by the photo's they turned out great and taste just like i remember them.
