Yes, it is a grand blessing once again to be able to help others with the issues I was trained through schooling and life experience to handle. Knowing it aids others in their employment, helps a company to be able to move further with a construction project that helps people keep paychecks rolling..... stuff like that.

I truly hope and pray something can be done or occur which will aid your situation. Yeah, UCLA, but so many good have come through the the halls of that school. My orthopedic surgeon who was on the implant team is highly thought of in his field and taught at the school. It is always so hard to see through the fog of what is the best course to take, the treatment to allow..... this is why it was difficult for me to decide in favor of SCS implant because I have had SO MANY surgeries since the car wreck, and everything with its fine print carried risk... including with the SCS implant documents I signed the risk of permanent paralysis. Paraplegia. So, many months it took, research, searching my soul with the aid of my precious wife and God, until finally I relented and followed the path to SCS. The brief take on how I got there, and I feel blessed it worked to the good, which gives me ALL the MORE reason to pray for you, for Yellow, Tara, Eva, Rae, Sophie, Jenna, Saffy, Pooh [who is lurking a lot right now] and SO many others. Things that go wrong or not as right as was hoped. It is only in the reaching out I am able with God to make sense of this stuff. Our place is filled with pain, and you have so much of it.... I am with you in this... just not knowing what to do but respond and to pray.

So I pray,
and give a smile
then a group hug,
