So good to hear all going well.
I couldn't give up my SCS nor turn it off!!! It's given me my life back too. I can go out to my beautiful garden and spend a few hours there. Yes I'm wrecked by the time I'm finished but never could I have done that over 3 years ago I have my stim 4 years in August and it's definitely a blessing. You take care Mark and keep on working. Sounds like life is gooooooooood Jackie Quote:

Felt better this week. Still exhausted by day's end. Had to call off a social thing last night because just too tired, BUT, was able to work the week through without leaving early, able to work without wearing the neck brace, and neck is strengthening. Pretty good, actually!
I really want to try a bike ride today. It is a nice day. Even if just for a few blocks, it would be enjoyable. The body could use the exercise. Yup, P.S. I owe you an update on that nerve pain....something, this week I was sitting in my office training my assistant and BAM a jolt as strong as ever hit my left leg. Hot electricity!! Jerking my leg! I darn near cried!! Assistant was understanding as her Mom deals with such stuff after a car wreck. So, I reached into the briefcase, took the remote, and jazzed up the signal. Finally came under control, but the jolts continued into the evening. Better today at least. Last edited by Mark56; 03-29-2014 at 09:52 AM. Reason: P.S. |

that is darn so sad but for the assistants mother having an understanding others might not be as understanding or even some be embarrassed but that's not okay there is that better advantage of NOT being a slave to meds and for now i can only be treated for the mechanical pain it is the same as before the neck blowout but to have so many neurological impairments one thing is certainly not in our control what our nerves on command and it isn't listening to you that jolt that puts you through the roof take the wind out of you oh yes i know that feeling oh i hope one day soon there will be an easier way to to deal with chronic pain right now there needs to be more research on the connection between mind and nerves the voluntary and involuntary as for my surgeon who is only interested for the monies due him and because of my circumstances giving out what was promised back is never going to happen to put wage garnishment on income i am unable to receive from a good days work how moronic of him AS HIS NON`INTEREST in my pain while i lay in my hospital bed my daughter hitting the pain pump button still no relief as my hematoma was growing over night my days of work are over but this is all that matters i would love to have my story taken seriously it's not okay be well as well as you can be life isn't fair but to know our Father is in control including all not just some of our destiny Faith is our freedom

Please forgive my lapse of presence on these pages. I have been working MANY hours on litigation in an upstate venue back East. It has been all consuming. The pleadings, the preparation, the discovery, the motions, the defenses and attacks, the appearances......and finally the settlement discussions which I had attempted mightily before lunacy swept all into the litigation maelstrom. We put the monster of litigation and the associated genie back into the bottle. The case is almost over........at last. Just final nits and gnats to finish it all. Working until after midnight and then up at four to toil some more may now be dialed back a notch or two.
At long last, late Friday evening we returned to our home state on a nice airline from a place in the southwest part of our nation. Had to connect through Chicago. This is about the time all of the pent up pain on which I had ridden herd let loose. Being wheelchaired through the concourse from one jetway to the next, my tears cut loose. Unbidden. I did not want this lest the waterfall become a torrent. By the time we descended the jetway to the last connection toward home, I began to sob. People all around were utterly fantastic. Wanted somehow to help. "May I give you some Tylenol?" That sort of thing. I deferred. Thanking all. Feeling to visible at the moment. I wanted to curl up in the airliner seat. Thank GOD it was not full. My partner and I had a row to ourselves and an empty between. I took my emergency supply of Percocet. Popped a couple. Well within prescription limits. Settled back. Stanched the tears. Things began to calm as my mind surrendered to the meds. Pain ebbed just enough. The flight winged its way west. Home again. AHHHHHHhhhhhhh.......... My own bed. I feel awful about not being here to give comfort. Lend a "listening ear" to a troubled someone who was feeling what all of us know so well. That is the breaks for me. A few of you reached out wondering was I OK, was I dead, did I decide to quit??? Thank you for that. It was so kind. There have not been enough hours to breathe, let alone work, eat, sleep, and such. You have been part of the "such." Yes, we still know pain. Although returned to my profession full time, pain does not let me elude its grasp. None are immune. All continue. Sure, I have the BLESSED gift of my wondrous Boston Scientific stim which helps manage pain. It works like a charm even unto this day. Most days it manages pain for me "MEDLESS" meaning I take no pills. I like that. That day last week though....it was a definite break through event. Glad I had the bottle of meds in my carryon. I needed it. Bless you all, Love, M56 |

Hey there, yes some of us did reach out, a measure of how much we care and how indeed your wise words are felt, appreciated, shared and finally missed. It's not that we don't wish you a well life, it's just your absence sparked unspoken fears.
As I read your account of the work you achieve and the accomplishments you have made I feel so proud to know you. Then to then read on and bear witness to your sheer agony as you made your way home tears my soul. I feel for you, oh Mark, I cry for you and wish things could be so different. You clearly are a remarkable man of talent and with a mind unbroken. Why does life have to be so jolly hard. You evidently enjoy, perhaps even thrive on having your mind so thoroughly engaged on a task or tasks that will being you to an even greater sense of achievement on its conclusion. To have to go through so much agony makes it only harder no doubt when you are next time faced with a decision on whether to take on a case that will involve extensive time and flights elsewhere from your lovely home and bed. We missed you yes and are so pleased to hear you are alive and ... Well as best as you can be. Thanks for coming back, even if only for a little bit to let us know you are still with us. |

Glad to be able to send the search hounds back to the K-9 kennels! And ESPECIALLY glad we didn't have to use the cadaver dogs!!! Oh dear Mark, you be gone as long as you want/need! Just knowing that it's because you're so busy makes it SUCH a relief as opposed to something else (the mind can begin to take us many bad places when left open for worry) It's wonderful to know that you are this active again....course the mother HEN in me wants to nag at you for overdoing It is a heartbreaking image to see you crying so hard in pain. Although tears aren't necessarily a 'bad' thing when release of pent up pain and frustration are in order. Thank God for breakthrough pain meds. Thank you SO much for checking in. ....don't ever for ONE moment think you are unloved! Caring indeed, Rae |
