I admit I don't know whether to laugh or cry. I admit the absurditiy is making me laugh, tho' it is no laughing matter. I admit I had a cervical disectomy and fusion 18 years ago which not only seemed to not help, but make things worse. I admit for the last 3 years, between neck, shoulder, arm & hand pain, numbness, tingling, etc., I haven't been able to use my left arm (and partially my right). I admit it's gotten so bad in the last month I can't turn my head from side to side, or bend it back in any way w/o cutting off my arms, as it were. I admit the pain's been enough to make one suicidal. I admit today the ortho specialists in CO say the fusion done 18 yrs ago NEVER took, and as a result, my neck is now a mess and will need major surgery/plates! I admit I can't figure out how the original ortho/neuro sugeons did not figure this out w/post surgical x-rays way back when. I admit I can't figure out how this was missed by other orthos, neuros, radiologists in mutiple x-rays and MRI's over the last 3.5 years. I admit I'm inclined to believe that's what you get when you fall into the hands of "Indigent Health Care" in my area. I admit I'm afraid Heaven help us with socialized medicine. I admit I haven't yet recovered from the ankle fusion w/resulting reflex sympathetic dystrophy. I admit this new heart stuff is very untimely. I admit I wish I could catch a break, medically speaking.
