[Hi smyles,

You have alot on your plate. I had neck fusion in 2010 and remember the pain like it was yesterday. Im sorry and feel bad for you -- dealing with your symptoms and the pain is alot to deal with period. Im sorry your husband drinking like that---your right its not helping your situation any. I know what it's like when your with somebody and your in pain --and they act supportive at times --but there really not. I had that experience when I went thru cancer and my neck fusion. Its very difficult. I hope you find help with your neck and the bipolar. Im wondering how come you have not found a good doctor to help you bipolar and u need a good neuro or ortho that deals with the spine. I noticed you in OH -i know some very good spinal surgeons if your near cleveland area.
I hope things turn around. Its good to vent it out your dealing with alot. I wish you all the best!!!!!
