Hi Allen,
Sorry to hear that you are having such a tough time. I know about the breathing and having to get your feet up. I want to spend more time on the computer and physically can't. I think alot of us can sympathize with you there. It was a physical therapist that caused the spread for me. I'm in CA and was encouraged to sue. The attorney dropped the case at the last minute and is now suing me for outrageous expenses.
I hope this new doc can do something that gives you some relief.
