OK, I started my blog about my neck.

I'm in too much pain right now to do much more, but I hope I'll be able to add to it tonight.

Sheeeesh Gistek, that makes my 1/4 of a left elbow seem mild by comparison

I had about 3-4 courses of a brick buttress fall on me, in '78 - I instinctively threw my left arm up to prevent it hitting me in the face/head but it smashed my elbow to splinters.

The Doc told me that, in a way, it was a good move, as the brickwork would have likely crushed my skull - as it was, the impact on my elbow pushed me out of the way.

I managed to catch a bus to the hospital where they X-rayed it, then told me there's nothing they could do, apart from bandage the whole thing up and put it in a sling!

Even now, there's still bits of loose bone-splinters floating around, causing my elbow to occasionally lock up on me. It sometimes gets nasty/embarrassing when I have a drink of something, my elbow refuses to move past a certain point and locks up - unfortunately, the liquid usually carries on moving - out of the mug and all over me instead!

At least I can still carry heavy stuff, as long as I have my arm straight down, but I can't carry anything heavy with my arm bent to stop it dragging on the ground.

I hope they manage to sort your neck out with physiotherapy, rather than having to resort to steroid injections - they can be extremely painful, according to my bro-in-law

I must be going blind, there is some good-looking showing himself off after getting a SEX change in New surgery, it's a wonder he didn't break the camera
To much pain, Just think of all the stories you could tell about pain You know I bet we all have much pain from life passing. Makes you wonder what it feels like to not be broken.

Hay Gang, been watching an old SIFI movie "The Day the Earth Stood Still on AMC, interesting as it may have be, when all the electric power stop around the world and machines would not work. There was a seen in France they took, in one conner of the seen a boat was going down the river. Hummmmmmmmmm!

Hay Werebo you called a Dr. How can I help you???

[WereBo]

Well, if you have a spare male body, in his early-mid 30's, I could do with a body-transplant! Failing that, a new-life transplant?

[Direct Current]

Well now , I just happen to have a new male body just been donated by Jeffery Domer (our verison of Jack the riper) who seem to have a very unsual taste in food suplement, outside that it not in to bad a shape!

I know what you mean --- I wouldn't mine having a --- life transplant my self there werebo.

BTW, many thanks again for the YOU TUBE Martain Biggee, Was able to finnally get it. I only heard that song one's while moving up to Greensboro, NC. for a new job and stop in the middle of a snow blizzered. Had a big dog and a cat in a capri, Boy what a night mare!

Ua.... Is Glas ok, he just does not seem to sound his self for some reason, kindof got me concern about my forum buddy.

It took me a very long time but I finally got a snapshot of the "one eyed" troll I have. Looks like it may have been a football injury as he is a 49-er. His twin brother has both eyes. I was kinda hopin the good Dr.s could implant an eye like Sobeits bionic eye.

Of course, without saying I know I gotta come up with boatloads of moolah , how bout some old mexican pesos?



Oh my looks like I better skidaddle over to Christmas Wish and ask Santa for a camera upgrade Am using my $20 web cam/video/snapshot no name brand or model number.....this is as scaled down and generic as it gets folks!

[Direct Current]

Sorry I could get the picture, wish I could have. Maybe we can fix your troll, I understand they have a lot of parts leftover from the movie I, Robots. Some of them keep asking "Is it safe yet!!!" But I am sure once we get a good picture of your troll we can fine a good eye for him.
Well you have to excuss me but this nerve med's the Dr. put me on is taking effect. The last two days with my mom has really got me nervious. Every few minutes she has been trying he best to cause much trouble. God Bless Cathy.

I tried to click on your link but it came back as unable to find ...so I tried searching the site for your screen name w/no luck and then I tried Barb's Neck Blog but that didn't work either. So very sorry you are going through all this and hope you have helpers around your house to ease the amount of physical everyday things we all deal with. How awful to be in so much discomfort that something seemingly effortless like plopping at the computer turns into an unpleasant experience. I am praying for you.....to feel better quickly.

For some reason only part of the URL making code got published. So I'll try again.

I made screen shots of three of the MRI images and put them in today's post.

We went to visit my husband's mother at the hospice. She's not doing so well.

I didn't do too bad, pain wise yesterday, but my right shoulder aches today. I must have slept wrong on it last night.

Today hasn't been too bad, so far, but I haven't done much typing or housework yet.

[WereBo]

Mmmm, although I'm no doc or had any medical training, the pinching is obvious in several places. It looks the sort of condition that could take months of work to ease, or you wake up one morning and the discs have eased back into their rightful place, never to trouble you again.

I'm praying for the latter option for you.

Danit, The move was terrible-- I could have made a better one with someone camcorder and a few scraps of drawing paper.
I only have one wish for this Christmas and that is that each and everyone I have on my prayer list gets health, gets the green they need for Christmas Joy, Plenty to eat, that all the children in the world get a little piece of happiness, People like the belabens of the world fall into a crack some where never to be found. That parents learn to be friends not parents or self rights dictators. Just one I would like to see happiness on Christmas for every one. My heart go's out to every one. My needs are Mirosizes to what I want for the world and what I want for all my friends this Christmas. Amen !!!!!
Now about that body transplant Werebo. I figure that if we get it in before Christmas, We can have you completed say by the next millena......! and Ua... what connects do you have with the queen over there? I need to finance me a new place to live in Montana.......

As you have said your problems started from way back and continue through to today. Those school teachers need a rap across the knuckles, they were negligent in their care of you, though the damage was done it may have been exacerbated by their lack of care. I hope you get some relief from your pain and that treatment over time will help.

Hehehehe...

Our Queen is getting a bit short of cash nowadays, 'The Family' sold their royal yacht 'Brittania' years ago and the Queen even pays taxes now. She might well be interested in some sort of deal, but only if it means money going into the royal purse.

Mrs WereBo recommends moving to Montana, she loves it there, when she goes on her 'teaching-lacemaking' tours in the USA. Up around Thompson Falls and Glacier Park is spectacular

Hay Werebo, well it was a thought, anyway ready the blade and get the drip pan ready. Cathy would you be my nurse assist and Sandy be my Second or would you prefer bonzy Sandy and me as back up. Beeb............ to late, Blithe bring in the shoot gun pain killer needle! Quick how many fingures am I holding up.?
Well excuse, got some real work to do while the wound from the shoot turns green!!!! Lalalala
I heard it is a very nice place in Montana, thought about moving up that way if the Lords willing, get a way from all the relatives including my own X, Son & daughters, that is after my folk pass away.

[WereBo]

Well, you can't get much further away while staying in the USA

[Direct Current]

Quick it!!! your interrupting my beauty sleep---I need some god sleep so I don't make mistakes. Well, in my previous life, just kidding, I have travel every state except five, and twenty two countries on the job work but I never got to see the sites or the beauty of the places I work in Booooo Humbud!!!

[WereBo]

If you want to see some of your beautiful scenery, try here: Link.

Wait for the 'Flash' images to load, then sit back and enjoy - I can see why you call it 'God's Own Country', there's some stunning scenery there

I was managing ok, more or less, up until the traffic accident. About a week after the accident I started having some tingling in my upper arm, so the dr sent me for pt. That was helping until the very end, when a cold spell made my neck tense. After that I started having a tingling/burning feeling in my left arm and sometimes in my upper back - mainly on the left side.

I believe that the problem due to the cold, and neck tensing, would probably not be as bad if that idiot hadn't tried to cut that left turn.

Because of all the problems throughout my c-spine, I will probably need at least some surgery. I doubt just daily traction will help much. Traction at PT never helped for more than an hour or two.

[Cathy95820]

Hey Barb,

After reading about your trampoline accident all I could think about was how close you probably were to being paralized. OMG Too bad you can't go back and nail the PE coach whose responsibility it probably was to realize that a sport injury like that required immediate emergency medical care.

And then if people say sue their pants off...well that may sound like the solution to the people who are on the outside looking in, but no amount of money will change the way your body feels.

Hang in there hun, you sound like a toughy and if we could take turns with you to give you a couple hours off, I am sure there are a few of us that would.
