Topic: RE: Update on me
Glad you found a doctor that did you some good.  Best wishes for a healthy and quicker recovery.  Back Surgery is major stuff.  My mom had back surgery for 3 vertebrae this past March for issues she has been suffering with for 3 years and no one said they could do anything.  After hooking her up with the ortho surgeon that fixed my hip, who had an ofc associate that does back specialty, she had it fixed but didn't come home until late June because of muscle imflamation and other minor related complications. She feels like a new woman she says w/o the back pain. Hope you have relief from yours.  Thx for the update.

Hi Caroline,

Glad to see your posting. Sorry about all the misfortune that has befallen you. Speaking from experience, getting older sometimes sucks.

Topic: RE: Anyone Remember the Bra Ladies?
 Thanks, Butterfly - checked it out but that's not them. They were 2 independent distributors, I think one was in NoVa and one maybe in the valley. Sold us Colesce bras, which were fab but can't seem to find anyone to replace it.

Beth    Takes alot of guts to own up stuff.        Talk with the nutritionist and get back on track. 

For the rest of your life you have to stay on your vitamins.    Keep up with your
appointments and bloodwork.       Take it slow for now and see what the doctor says. 

Take care of yourself.  Caroline

Topic: Update on me
Well as  you may know I fell on the ice in Feb   Fracture my shoulder humerous bone and elbow.   I have been having alot of issues with my neck and back .  Fired a few doctors.   Well just had back surgery for a fractured vertebrae.  The procedure was to cement the fracture & takes @ 30 minutes but took 2 hours.  Why   I have hard bones.   Doctor told me it had to have been one heck of a fall. Had to use a mallet to get to the break.    We believe the break was associated to the fall in Feb.   Dang Doctors do not listen   They just zero''d in on the shoulder nothing else.  Blown 2 discs in my neck.    3 months of therapy

  My Sleeve has done me well.  I take my calcuim and vitamin D on a daily basis. 

Any pain and back issues highly suggest Capital Spine and Pain.   I do not take narcotics.  They have been acceptant and most helpful with dealing with my pain and alternatives to major surgery.
