Mark,
There's no doubt, the cat is the boss of our house!

TODAY I.....
..... Get the pleasure of sitting down and writing up some new guidelines for my work comp hearing, which if any of you remember right I was given the task by by present attorney to follow up with the appeal o my own. I do beleive I have enough evidence to get his overturned and low and behold if such is the case she will be losing out on a nice chunk of money.
.....seen an attorney on Friday, who said with all that is going on with me the TOS, CRPS II/RSD and bouts of depression, I should have been getting SSD a long time ago, however I feel as though this is just part of my life on that roller-coaster that only goes down hill, never back up

..... took a second to go grab myself a cup of coffee, well walking out of the kitchen, watched in slow motion as the cup left my hand and fell onto the floor... there goes another mug


.....watched the videos on spinal stimualtors and pumps.. as well as, going on line and I think the pump has a lot less things that can go wrong like arcs between electrodes and burns that can singe right through the cord and cause paralysis or death so think the pump is the way to go ... a small price to pay having a small scar vs. taking all the oral meds

pass along to all us TOSers and RSDers a great day free of pain and agrevation MARK~n~GOOBER

.... am wondering if anybody has/had an implanted spinal stimulator and if they have had any problems concerning a burning feeling, involuntary twitches or had to have it removed due to strength being to strong that they actually received a scar from it arcing on the spine itself?
....also in question if anybody had an implanted pump, whose content was morphine? From my understanding the morphine only slightly crosses through the blood/brain barrier, thus cutting down on the amount of actual opiate within the blood-stream, eleviating the"high" that oral meds do... however, at this point and time, I do not get any form of "high" as the meds I take only take the edge off (which is what I and sure my doctor want to achive) though now, I hate to admit it this is no longer happening to me! I know today, between my last post and this one I am being quite selfish and dwelling upon me and am so very sorry to others as I am aware each and everyone of us ahces, pains and problems!!!!!!!!!

GOOBER says he is sorry for making MARK be that way

Mark,
I don't think you need to apologize to any of us here. You've always been the one to put others pain and problems before yourself, so I don't think anybody would think you're being selfish or thoughtless for coming on here and talking about what you'e dealing with right now.

Today I wish my strength wasn't starting to fade.

Came back to my mom's today to find her worse from her cancer than when I left her 5 days ago. I try to hold up for her, but depression and pain is getting the best of me today.

For all of you that believe in the power of prayer......I ask you to please say one for her.

I will keep in touch!

Peggy

Our thoughts are with you Peg.

to Peg and ***strength**** vibes to your mom. You are both in my thoughts.


<- workers comp people who make decisions re: Mark...may they rot in h*ll unti they see the light for you. you will outsmart them in court, and your ex-attorney lady WILL be sorry.... I soooooo hope you are able to find some relief with the right pump.

*~*~*~*~

today I made good on promise to self to join health club. (yes a little bit of love thyself ) found riding a recumbent bike to be pretty tolerable thus far, made it a whole 25 minutes. Hoping to be able to say that tomorrow, too... Pain Dr. did say to use endorphins for pain relief whenever possible. I am going to give it my best effort.

hot tub and sauna (the real motivation to go and ride bike) worth every penny of club membership...it will be my new hobby. going to sleep well tonight after all that.

peg I send out my thought s and prayers t you and your mom !1!.

jo kat thanks for the supp ort I am having a problem typing at the moment so will cloes now

Today I .... am having a much better morning and hope that everyone else is also! Di, please PM me a good time to give you a call would like to spek to you, prior to having my WC hearing tomorrow.

......... Unto all I sure hope that your pain is low and that those undergoing legal battles find quick resolve within your favor, God knows the companies will do all they can to get out of taking responsibility!

Mark~n~Goober

promise to Mark, that I will cross my fingers for his hearing tomorrow (I know we have the time difference, but I will count!) and I wish you all the best!

Peggy, I am sorry for your mother! I can imagine that this is hard for you.

The last days, I suffered a lot: my both arms hurt so much and yesterday I left work after 4 hours because I couldn`t work any more. This night was bad and in the morning the coffee box felt out of my hand and there was the powder all over the carpet, the floor. So I already vacuumed at 7 o`clock in the morning. What a great start in a good day. Anyway, the day can only be better than the morning.

I send my very nicest greetings to all of you!
Barbara
