Default Hi to all old and new

Man o man where to start.

physical and emotional pain.

the pain in the left is still present to this day and has caused me all sorts of grieve. the last attempt on myself was june 30/2006 and left me in the hospital for over 2 weeks one week was spent in ICU. dont remember much of the time..
finally got the help i needed from pshyc dr's. not that i trust dr's anymore thou.
10/10/2006 1 week stay in hospital for a t4 or t5 epideral 750 ml of bupovicaine pumped in my arm. stopped pain for 3 days after it was removed

now waiting on dr for the installation of some type of electronic device that is supposed to interrupt the pain signal from my arm before it goes to the brain
still fighting with w/c and ss lawyers. have not gotten a pay check since sept 20,2004 its sad to be living at home at the age of 34 with parents.
