My dearest friend..This where you and I do pick me up..This time I pick you up to say..yes..although these are our cards but admittably they are ugly..nasty.. painful cards..you are never alone in your fight..I will march, best I can right along side of you..hill and dale to see you thru..Dang cards.. I never was got at em anyways..

My story on this Dr. stuff is so disturbing also..At the time when my SCS implant was to be done..The Neurosurgeon insisted I wait for the smaller unit to be manufactured, as my stature is small and he felt I shouldn't support the unit available..so I was ok and patient with his feelings...8 months later, no unit yet!! I the mean time, this Dr. ordered an MRI to be done to map out space for the wires..Well..4 mos. after the MRI was done..my PM Dr. asked for the MRI results..at that time, we learned that my MRI showed a herniated disc in my back and the Neuro. never caught it..why?? Cuz he never read my results of the MRI scan...THEN the Neuro. asked me to come in the next day and literally ripped me apart for my results and RSD!!!!Included saying RSD does not spread... Needless to say..another Neuro. implanted my unit...and in record time..2 weeks later..ggrrrr!!!!!

Hugz everyone....
