I Could Use Some Purrs, Please - OT

I'm going to see the neurosurgeon today to see if he can do something
about the pinched nerve in my neck. He's pretty much my last hope of
getting free of this pain - and avoiding the gradual loss of the use of
my right hand and arm. If he can do a "foraminotomy", arthoscopically,
with minimal recovery time (and do it before the end of the year before
my $1,500 deductible is back again), I would be *SO* happy.

So, if you would please, I could use some purrs that the visit this
afternoon turns out well and that he'll be able to help me.

This is not exactly the same procedure as you are describing, but I
thought you might be interested in knowing the results of a procedure my
mother had years ago. She had such intense pain, that her head would
sometimes be pulled down to the side, almost to her shoulder. Even the
slightest breeze would set off pain that would extend down her right arm
to her hand. It was excruciating.

The procedure she had actually involved an incision through the front of
her neck to reach the spine. It sounds horrible, but she only had to have
a bandaid over the incision! It was almost like a miracle cure for her
and restored full movement without pain. She did have a lot of other
spinal problems that caused pain in later years, but that surgery gave her
years of relief. I can even date it precisely because she had arrived
home from the hospital and awoke to hear that Kennedy had just been
assassinated. So, medical procedures such as what you described have made
tremendous advances since that time.

Thanks Mary, I'm really hoping for *something* to relieve the pain - pain
pills just don't touch it. I'm glad to hear that someone else had a similar
surgery that worked so well!

No problem. My mother was also my dear friend, so it works either way. She
died on September 11 last year (isn't that ironic??) at the age of 91.

purrs in route

I say a prayer for you also
