Good morning Jeanie~~

I know I sound nutty but we have RSD but thats not all we are..I refuse to let that bugger consume me in fear I will miss other stuff in my life that will give me pleasure..I could miss the fun stuff while focusing my efforts on totally RSD..and the good stuff makes my ticker feel good esp. if I can help someone else feel better and I love that feeling!!

You are very wise in weaning due to having a better response for you pump to take over from your surgery, btw I am really sorry you have to have that done!! I heard the other day from Dr.S's office that because I am not a medicine person..I will repond better to the Ketamine...so I hope the same holds for you with you fusion...I had a pump after my second knee surgery, manual manipulation surgery..it was not too bad having the pump in..it helped with the pain .....

Well myself and Dr. S..I am now addressing coverage, possibilites with my ins. I am having a third appeal plus I have contacted my NYS ins. dept. group to investigate it on my behalf...otherwise..Dr. S has sent me info for my appeal and Dr. S's office have already scheduled clearences to be done in Sept. so they are moving ahead while I babysit the ins...This is a fustrating thing for everyone here...hopefully I can get some good news then share with everyone here to go about it and WIN!!!!

I love hearing from you...enjoy your day, my friend and I pray for an easier day for you!!

Kathy
