[Guest guest]

{{{{{HUGS Deb}}}}} You have been thru the wringer for quite sometime now.

God bless you! I cant imagine how you are coping with everything. I hope

you get some good answers. I pray you can get some pain relief soon. You

are in my thoughts and prayers. BTW: You arent whining. This is what

friends are for

Take care,

Debs, I'm glad to see you posting again, but this is not good news. The

care you are receiving is still far less than adequate.

Did all of those doctors forget what you've endured over the last couple

of years? It's really hard to understand what they're thinking.

I do hope you will find a new orthopedic surgeon immediately. Your

symptoms are alarming. Please don't wait. There IS someone who can help

you.

Hi Debs,....

I am so sorry for all that you are going through. I wish there was a

way that I could take some of your pain, and stress away. I

sometimes wonder if doctors are really human. I will be praying for

you, and with all the faith you will have a full recovery. take

care Tawny
