Hi,

Just came back from Georgetown University Hospital in DC. The head of the dept saw me, and as it has spread from the left foot the the right foot and part of the leg, He said that I'll go with the scs. He said that if it was just on the left foot he would like to try some other things. as it is spreading, and he could see it, he said that we needed to get the scs asap. He said he wouldn't be surpirsed if it showed up in my hands next. As he wants to make sure that the insurance co. doesn't give us a hard time, he is going to do a block on Oct 8th. In the meantime, he is setting me up for a trial. I told him that I used to have a super high tolerance to pain. I'd set my own fingers and toes, tape them and go on. Now when I get a hangnail, I want to cry. He said that I still must have a high tolerance if I could walk on my feet. He said they are a mess. the toes (I didn't notice it) are curing under on the left foot. I'm getting a ans unit. Any thoughts on it would be great.
