Hi guys,

My pain doc did some more nerve blocks this morning and boy has it made a difference. I don't feel as stiff or as rigid, more comfortable in my own skin. It just shows he's getting the right spot and for the surgeons to refuse to remove the problem to give back that freedom is archaic, cave man like, yes it is in an awkward place and yes I do think it won't be easy, even my pain doc is flabbergasted when he can see results like this.
I do however feel extremely tired, my body has been fighting this battle way too long, it's no wonder and I've been pretty much asleep since the surgery. I'm getting sore too at he injection points.
After the surgery he came up to tell me that he wants to write to the Insurance Company to see if they'll fund another SCS, i did ring them the other day, I hope so and I've no idea why he thinks they won't, he told me some time agopp they only fund one SCS because they are so expensive. Yes this is wonderful fantastic technology but it's like Irelands Celtic Tiger, there's no need for it, except for greed, if they were putting most off it back into research and maybe they are then I'll take most of it back!

So I've to see him Wednesday, he maintains I'm good at letters, Mark is the only person I know that's good at letters, he could've just been nice to me!

I introduced a young woman like myself to the forum today she was in the bed beside me, I do hope she says hi, I thinks like the rest of us, has loads to offer and could do with some support, for years all she's had is her family and friends and we know the strength in that but sometimes you need people who just share and know your pain.

Time for more sleepies, Later alligators,
