The Call
 
As I figure the last session of the pain program through RIC (Rehab Institute of Chicago) has recently completed, I placed a call to see where I am on the wait list and when the next session starts.

Please cross your fingers, say a prayer, throw salt, send good thoughts...whatever you do for luck/miracles/etc. The answer will guide my next steps and the direction I will take for the future.

Thank you

You got it. Oh, and can you also do something so that the Cubs will win the World Series, while you are at it!? I tried being good to see if that would work, but that didn't go so well. I think I just jinxed them.

You are in my prayers. I hope you are first on the list!

Ugh. While I am still hopeful (for a few more minutes), I happened to get a call from my insurance case manager today.

I am on a roll here I guess. What part of my function has decreased to the point of
a) once/week shower
b) ambulation/activity limited to bathroom & bed for the past 5 weeks
do these doctors not understand??? I had to ask my case manager to look into wheelchairs. She suggested I maybe consider another doctor in Chicago. Hello, 2 hour train ride is no bueno for the pain/swelling...I only agreed to RIC because of the "possibilities" it holds...possibilities I might add that I have been waiting for since mid-September.

I am seriously about to give up. I have a healthcare team that simply does not care that they have a patient whose condition is rapidly declining nearly entirely due to inadequate (read non-existent) pain management. Damn CDC/FDA.

Too funny! I used to serve at a church in Yorkville. Oh.. and may I ask.. Who are the Sox? Oh, yeah yeah.. the Red Sox... Now I remember. GRIN.. Seriously, I hope your son's team does well, The Chicago White Sox.

You continue to be in my prayers. I just wish I knew why CRPS is such a difficult disease to get adequate care for. It really does get frustrating sometimes. I wish you well.

It is indeed pitiful.
Thank you for keeping me in your thoughts.
