Heart Oh how hard to receive such a letter

I have one in my file from back when a medical practice group decided in advance of my spinal fusion they could and would do nothing..... of course, this was followed by a letter to file from one of the more charitable doctors forwarning any follow on doctor the patient is a lawyer [what difference does that make?]. Within two weeks I had full blown cauda equina syndrome, the pain was forcing me to scream until I passed out from exhaustion, and the lower half of my body shut down...... completely. A much more compassionate doc said "I can help that," and he did.

Dear Saffy, you are such a blessed lady and friend. I am saddened to learn this is your present lot, and I PRAY something somwhere can be brought to bear so as to help you with this situation.

Prayin,
Yup,

Heart Ooohhhhh

I know not how you can feel at this moment. So I do not know what you can do with your medical system. BUT know this old nurse has you high on her prayer chain. I also pray that something new comes along to help you!
Offering gentle hugz

I seriously think they have written me off. They have offered me nothing and have closed my file at the chronic pain clinic.

Well well. My surgeon lied to me. Apparently cellutitis is caused not from the metalwork in my body but The infection, which is caused by bacteria entering the skin through a cut or abrasion, worsened and spread around her body.

I told them my back stitched area was infected and the trainee neuro surgeon said no it looks ok.

I'M SO SORRY

GO AFTER HIM EXPOSE HS RETCHED WAYS
OH HOW BADLY I FEEL FOR YOU
YOU ARE A SMART WOMAN
AS I AWAIT MY DOCTOR IS NOW
PUT ME IN COLLECTION RIGHT AT
THE TIME IT RUNS OUT

MAY GOD GUIDE YOU
TAKE GOOD CARE
