make me a sandwhich girl

I have 2 lines out and they're in a contract under flex pay. I'm barely gonna be 1 year in both phone this summer. I want out because they have fucked up so much and they never admit to the blame! My sim card has been switched twice and my cell phone has been switched 3times now. My bf...

Hey, I'm playing Czardas by Monti on violin, next week for Solo and Ensemble. Everybody says that I sound fine- I just need to fine tune it a little more. I hear it quite differently. When I listen to myself I think I sound always a little bit off pitch and not quite as nice as I was expecting...

My family is very understanding, its actually my doctor I feel pressure from. Last appointment I thought he said I should go back to work at 6 weeks, but he wrote down 8 on the form, and I had to hear it from my boss, so I guess I misunderstood. Hopefully by then I will be ready, almost a...

I had the brace for before the surgery. It helped me be able to walk longer and stand longer.

i found this map http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dvbid/lyme/tickmap.htm all of california has a different type of tick than the east, but that makes matters even worse because it night be one that doesnt show up on standard tests. You need to go to a LLMD to be evaluated and diagnosed based on...

eddie, I am sorry you hve to go through this. i fought the pain for years, and finally found a surgeon who fixed my back. he said the vertebrae in my back was broken apart from the lamina and slipped, dragging all the nerves with it, and the foramina was pinching the nerves so much they were...

my problem in my L5 S1 was the vertebrae was broken at the pars on both sides and the vertebrae was slipped 50%. It happened slowly over 3 years. First a crack at the pars and slippage of the vertebrae, then that side broken and slipped grade 1, then both sides broken and slipped 2nd grade...

I am better at some thigs before the surgery, and worse at others. I am still glad I had it done because I can walk now. I could not walk more than a couple blocks before. Not because of pain, but just literally I could not walk, my legs would buckle and just give out after a while. I was on...

my white count was NOT high, so good sign. My abnormal tests were low hematocrit of 23, low oxygen stats in the 80's. I was also dehydrated. I need to probably go to a pulmonologist, because I think the low O2 was pre-existing. I am on 3 times the amount of pain meRAB, so maybe it is the...

I am going back to work on monday and I dont know what to do, my back still hurts bad, I am on morphine and vicodin just to be able to function. I had laminectomy and fusion at L5-S1 with 4 screws and 2 roRAB. It was a rough recovery. I am hoping it will get better and that going back to work...

I am talking about the surgeon when I say dr. I have not been to my primary care dr since the surgery at all. So up until now, just my surgeon. He leaves next week to go away for a whole month, so my next appointment will be with his partner, who I have not seen yet. Hopefully he will just...

I do have a brace, but he told me NOT to wear it. They are very worried about weak muscles and want me to build up my muscles, the brace does the work for the muscles, making my own weaker. My dr said no resctrictions on what I can and cannot do, except for no bending, lifting or twisting. So...

i am definitely better, fever is down to 99-100.5 and sweats are less drenching, mostly upper body. maybe it will just go away. i go tues to get stitches out

i has L5-S1 fusion, laminectomy and instrumentation. got in a little fender bender today, no damage to my car, but it did feel like a jolt. My back was hurting afterward, but I really cant tell if it hurts any more than usual :rolleyes: anyone know if something like that can do damage?

i am on MS Contin (morphine extended release) and vicodin.

check out lyme disease. this board has a lyme disease section. Even if you have had a negative test, you may still have it. the tests are not accurate at all. I had it for 15 years and the doctors kept telling me my tests were negative, and I did not have it. When I got copies and looked at...

I am 2 weeks post-op L5-S1 laminectomy with fusion and instrumentation. Yesterday I drove and was not thinking, and went in reverse while twisting my body to look back through the rear winRABheild. I realized immediately and turned back around but now my right leg hurts. It has kinda been...

I am getting discouraged, I feel like some people are saying I am where I am supposed to be, give it time, etc. Others are saying I am not recovering as fast as I should be, insinuating something must be wrong. I had L5-S1 fusion, L5 laminectomy with roRAB and screws. I am doing better. I...
