Hi Alison,
We seem to be experiencing problems with receiving e-mails. Do you share your email address with a "Peter" as the name comes up when I have typed in the e-mail address you gave to me, and when I have checked the sent option?
Guess what, we have another thing in common! I had an operation on L5 S1 30 years ago when living in Germany. Since then, I have had the occasional blip, but have had a lot of trouble with my back since September 09, and a recent MRI has identified more problems, and have now been referred to the National Orthopedic Hospital to see what can be done.
If you send me another e-mail, I will try e-mailing you back. How is your sister?
love,
Barbara
