my Back issues update...ugh!(LONG)
When I hear stories like this..I am thankful to live in the north in a community that has a little little hospital....caring for patients is much different on the most part. Both my daughter and myself have herniated discs...painful doesn't even being to describe the agony you have gone through. Glad to hear you finally have some answers sooner rather than later!!!!!
Orientation - Feb. 19 & 20/13 - NP,Nut, Psych, - Mar. 14/13 - Sleep Study - Mar. 24/13 - OTN with Dr. Sullivan - June 28/13 On my way!!! Preop Sept 25/13 - SURGERY OCTOBER 22/13!!!!!!!!
It's not how you start this life...it's how well you finish it...& I plan to finish it with gusto!!!!
UN F'ING BELIEVABLE TANYA!!!! What a Terrible ordeal you have been through! I can relate tho'.....had something similiar in 1982.....could have ended up in a wheel chair for life....do have nerve damage as a result of a herniated disc which had fragmented and was embedded in my spinal nerve.
SO VERY HAPPY that you've finally been taken care of properly and are on the road to recovery.....I'm sorry that no one took you seriously.....that type of pain (not to mention frustration!!!!) just EATS you up, from the INSIDE.....it makes me "shudder" to hear what you had to go through. BTW, I don't think there's any legal recourse.....that's why they call them "practioners"!!!!
P.S. Shopping via the Walmart scooters is GR8....they have them at Costco too! LOL

Surgery March 23/2011. Completed three full marathons and two half marathons, two half Ironman distances. Completed my first Full Ironman distance (4 km swim, 180 km bike, 42.2 km (full marathon) run) in Muskoka August 30/2015. Next Ironman Lake Placid July 23/2017!
That is absolutely terrible! Please follow up and report all of the problems along the way as maybe it will help someone else along the way. I'm so sorry to hear what you had to endure and so glad to see that you are on the mend. I hope you can take the police test at a later date.

Holy ****!.. that's totally unacceptable!!..
I'm very glad to hear you are doing better and that you will hopefully recover.
But I DO hope you write a letter of complaint about how the nurses treated you. They should be ***** slapped for such abusive treatment.
