Like the lady in Wisconsin said, I've been 'chill'n' down here in Ga this past week or so - Of course, I'm sure that I'm not chill'n nearly as much as folk in Wisconsin are right now - i'm sure it very cold up there brrr - btw Wisconsin is one of my fav states - there is just something really tranq. about Eau Claire, and riding a canoe down the Flambau or whatever the heck that river is called. Two of my best friends live up there.
Anyway ... Thank you all for you comments, advice, and personal experiences. I've calmed down now and just started focusing on daily life. I don't remember wish one of you pointed out that I now have a few doctors who are trying to do the right thing and helping me. I suppose all of us get frustrated, angry and depressed. I had a touch of depression but got over it quickly. I think sometimes that I hope too much and expect too much from that hope. I've made a lot of improvements and keep making improvements but sometimes I wish I could rush it along because some aspects have never gotten better while others have. But thanks again for your thoughtful words and acts of kindness. In response also to that last email, I've often wondered why that the doctors haven't used more than one type of MRI. They keep using the same kinds of MRI's and it was only recently that I even got a lumbar MRI where most of pain and problems seem to come - even though they found problems in other places. I still have lots of questions - many have been answered. I think I've realized that I'm not going to get many answers in the doctor's offices - only hypothesis and shrugs. If anyone knows how one might be able to get a insurance plan in Maryland (Isn't that where John Hopkin's is at) I would try to take a stab at finding a way to do it - maybe I should get a job up there lol ____________________________________________________________________________________ Be a better sports nut!
