Thanks everyone for all of the support. Mark, I have weaned off of most of the pain meds, the strong ones at least, and no, no additional help was offered. I have been on some of these drugs for 8 years. I do suffer from a pretty severe depression and had to leave my psychologist last month. I have not been able to find one in this area who accepts WC as payment.

Rae, no I have not lost any weight unfortunatly. My battery does seem to be jutting out some and still moves around a little. I guess that I will just have wait for that scarring in.

Hope everyone has a good night, Lisa
