Vicc,
I understand. I talked to a man once that told me to try and hang in there because the reason we are here suffering on earth is because God chose us before we were born to go through these trials or test what ever you want to call it. When God decides to take us, we that suffer so greatly will have the greatest rewards when we go. At the time he told me this, I was going through an awful time with depression. I couldn't understand why God did this to me.This man said alot more to me, too long to get into now. But it gave me some comfort that I needed at the time. I realized that God didn't hate me, and I belive all of us here will be blessed when we go. Some people might not agree with me, but sometimes it gets me through the day. I am praying for you and hope you get through this hard time.

Good old w/c always up for a stalling technique or excuse - but is is just that a stall - another darn bump in the road.

Can your dr or atty - or both - write a strong letter about the liver findings as a push for the pump to be approved quickly?

Good luck. I'll keep you in my thoughts.

Don't let them get to you or they'll get their way.

Hey Vic, I know you well enough to know that you really mean it when you say you don't want sympathy, and I know not to give it...

Hey Vicc,

Sorry about the delay in your pain pump!! It has to be frustrating when you were all ready and then boom.. its not happening yet just bc of wc crap!!

I just was wondering about your liver and it being big and testing the enzymes for it... wont they test these before you go in for surgery?? I know i had to have my LFT's and cbc and BMP panel ck'd before i had my stims done. I just want you to be prepared if they do this on ya and have them question the LFT results...

I agree with Amber on the liver test. You don't want them to get you in the hospital and run test and find this out before you go in to have it put in. That could keep you from getting it. If you get it checked now and need meds maybe you will get to the point that you can handle the pump when it is ok'd.

I am so sorry for what you are going through. I have never delt with WC but I have a great friend that does. I mentioned him years ago. He got his right arm ripped off and all of his insides torn out. He got very little in his settlement but got to keep his medical. When he had surgery last year to have pigskin put in instead of mesh they only did half of it because WC ok'd only half. He thought it was all done. Then he comes up with another infection and he had to wait until this month to get it done due to not being able to use but only so much medical a year. Crazy huh? WC p****S me off and I don't deal with them. I have often wondered how a person could fight them through the political arena to treat people better.

I don't feel sorry for you, I am just angry with you about it. I was so hopeing you would get this done. I think it will be the greatest thing to help you when you get it done and you will. It just takes time.

I am thinking of you my friend and do hope they get moving on this really soon.
