Re: Update from Netalee

[Guest guest]

Netalee, that's just a shame, after all you've been through.

Is this also a function of the joint deterioration/condition/whatever?

I'll keep you in my hopes, too, that you'll hang on to what you

have. You certainly deserve it!

Best,

Cammie

Thanks, Cammie.

One of the problems is that noone can tell me WHY this keeps on

happening. We checked my joints for a whole year before going through

with surgery #3 so I'm hoping that's not it. My surgeon did offer one

other possibility which noone has thought of before and that is

related with the syndrome I have. One of the symptoms is a bit of a

webbed neck and he thinks that may be pulling things back to the

original position. I might be looking to get that fixed if I can but

so far I haven't had much luck finding a surgeon who has done that

sort of thing before. Thanks again for your well wishes.

Bye for now!
