Re4: [TMIC] A very scary observation
Ten years ago I lived alone. One morning I awoke unable to move. I had been on sick leave for a separate issue, so no one was expecting me anywhere. Four days later the neighbor thought something was 'off' around my place. She -a 60 year old - ended up climbing up to the second floor with the fire department because no one wanted to kiss my Rottweiler's hello, and they LOVED Carol. She came through the window, secured the dogs, let the cops in with guns drawn (never know when a rotti will jump up at you), then the blessed EMS took me away. They figured I was ready for last rights in another day. Anyway, ten years later, I cruise in my suv-wc, don't do much but punch around on the pc mostly. My lesion was at C-6, 'functional' quad - I can use my hands to a degree. I take tizanidine (Zanaflex), neurontin, klonopin for leg spasms, pain meds and others not directly related to TM. mt - Original Message - From: Janice Nichols To: tmic-list@eskimo.com ; Barbara Alma Sent: Sunday, September 19, 2010 12:35 PM Subject: Re: [TMIC] A very scary observation Wasn't necessary?!?

They then decided to call the fire department for help to get me down the stairs so he could get me to the hospital. We had about 10 stairs then to exit our home. I wasn't willing to risk he or my son falling and then them having problems as well.

Re: [TMIC] Neuro Visit today
So Akua do I understand this correctly - you never got your meds and the pharma never heard from your doc's office yesterday?? They had not. They did AFTER I called both twice to be sure the meds were transmitted. I still have to wait as the (any) compounding pharmacy is far away, so I now have to wait on USPS to deliver the drugs. The neuro would not give me both at once so I still have nothing at all to address my TM symptoms: burning pain, squeezing pain, cold stabbing pain and spasms. Thanks for the good thoughts.

This is too true to be funny. The next time you hear a politician use the Word 'billion' in a casual manner, think about Whether you want the 'politicians' spending YOUR tax money. A billion is a difficult number to comprehend, But one advertising agency did a good job of Putting that figure into some perspective in One of it's releases. A. A billion seconds ago it was 1959. B. A billion minutes ago Jesus was alive. C. A billion hours ago our ancestors were Living in the Stone Age. D. A billion days ago no-one walked on the earth on two feet. E. A billion dollars ago was only 8 hours and 20 minutes, At the rate our government Is spending it. While this thought is still fresh in our brain... let's take a look at New Orleans ... It's amazing what you can learn with some simple division. Louisiana Senator, Mary Landrieu (D) Is presently asking Congress for 250 BILLION DOLLARS To rebuild New Orleans . Interesting number... What does it mean? A. Well .. If you are one of the 484,674 residents of New Orleans (every man, woman, and child) You each get $516,528. B. Or... If you have one of the 188,251 homes in New Orleans , your home gets $1,329,787. C. Or... If you are a family of four... Your family gets $2,066,012. Washington , D. C HELLO! Are all your calculators broken?? Building Permit Tax CDL License Tax Cigarette Tax Corporate Income Tax Dog License Tax Federal Income Tax (Fed) Federal Unemployment Tax (FUTA) Fishing License Tax Food License Tax Fuel Permit Tax Gasoline Tax Hunting License Tax Inheritance Tax Inventory Tax IRS Interest Charges (tax on top of tax) IRS Penalties (tax on top of tax) Liquor Tax Luxury Tax Marriage License Tax Medicare Tax Property Tax Real Estate Tax Service charge taxes Social Security Tax Road Usage Tax (Truckers) Sales Taxes Recreational Vehicle Tax School Tax State Income Tax State Unemployment Tax (SUTA) Telephone Federal Excise Tax Telephone FederalUniversal Service Fee Tax Telephone Federal, State and Local Surcharge Tax Telephone Minimum Usage Surcharge Tax Telephone Recurring and Non-recurring Charges Tax Telephone State and Local Tax Telephone Usage Charge Tax Utility Tax Vehicle License Registration Tax Vehicle Sales Tax Watercraft Registration Tax Well Permit Tax Workers Compensation Tax (And to think, we left British Rule to avoid so many taxes) STILL THINK THIS IS FUNNY? Not one of these taxes existed 100 years ago And our nation was the most prosperous in the world. We had absolutely no national debt... We had the largest middle class in the world... And Mom stayed home to raise the kids. What happened? Can you spell 'politicians!' And I still have to Press '1' For English. I hope this goes around the U S A At least 100 times What the heck happened? ---End Message---
