I awoke after a little nap and saw that I was late for the appointment, kinda like the Beatles' song "woke up,noticed I was late. Dragged the comb across my head - made the bus in seconds flat". Although I was late 30 minutes I still received my treatment of muscle stimulation. It did feel good and one of the nurses Mary Ann, a sweet Mexican girl married showed me a picture of her daughter. Whose name is Ilene, and about 1yr.old. Also about her husbands' truck which was broken into while he was at work as a cook - bummer.
I did ask and found out they want to continue the treatments for about 3 weeks and then go for a cat scan or mri. I wonder if they really think the insurance won't provide for it or that they want the money. That's up to them though. I still am taking meds and a new drug called Lyrica. Confuses the nerves, but it is primarly used for pyschcotic issues, I don't see any simtumes at this time. We will see.
While all this is going on I'm still waiting to see if the FMLA will be accepted or denied. If denied I will face possible termination or go back to work and further hinder the healing. If that comes about the I will have to get a lawyer. We will see.

Long time coming
Wow I had been posting in my yahoo 360 for some time till I saw this link. Just to update. In October 07 I experienced a pain in my left elbow and numbness in my thumb and two fingers in my hand. After changing chairs I experience excruciating pain in my neck, shoulder causeing me to have to leave work.
The last two weeks I have tried to see doctors - which when told about the injury and where don't do workman's comp, they denied the claim - I believe from lack of information. I did see a chiropractor for about 4 days, which didn't help. I finally got to see a doctor whom I'm to see again on 11/28/07. She put me on pain, muscle relaxors and ibuprofin and blood pressure medicine. None of these have had any effect. Hopefully I can get a catscan or mri to see what's going on in my neck.
I have been trying some bryce and will try posting in here.
