Hi, Jim -

I hope you're able to get some rest and relief from the pain. As far as the MRI - I don't expect you to get the results immediately. You have a lot to deal with, & I know you will update us when you can.

I'm praying for you.

I just wish that before this week is gone for good, that somoeone at some Hospital in WVa comes up with a schedule for the MRI to be done. But I will say, this waiting has gotten me back on the road to the crazy, could care less Jim that I was before. I even feel more like that guy that wore my shoes before and loved to laugh and enjoy fun. I am just about to make my own diagnosis and it will be " CURED". I already quit taking most of the meds just to feel half normal, LOL, whatever that might be. Have a good day all, and if I hear anything I will post it. But for now, back to normal for this guy.


Since posting this. UPMC, Pittsburgh, Oct 2011 until Jan. I averaged about 2 to 3 surgeries a week there. w Can't have jaw made as bone is deteroriating steaily that is left in jaw. Mersa is to blame. Feeding tube . Had trach for 4mos. Got it out April.

Here it is Wed and no word yet about the MRI. Damn these people can raise the BP a few notches. I was waiting and hoping I could post something, but as you can see, nothing is happening yet. Maybe the Dr is upset that I told him if nothing shows on the MRI to just leave me alone. He wants to go ahead with surgery anyhow. Not on me he won't.
