Thanks Guys. this one is it for a "few Days". I am hoping to be off SOON to the Big Apple (my old stomping grounds) where I can get me some REAL DOCTORS. These "Community Docs" have just caused so much confusion trying to cover their Butts.
I took a header off my deck in Sept. of 2000 and busted my chest up pretty good. I had "Flail Chest with a Tension pneumothorax" and spent four Months healing and over a year complaining of dull pain in my left arm, right thigh and back
EXACTLY where a doc attempted a "passet Block" (SP?) eight times, and kept zinging me into lunar orbit every freakin time he missed.
Well, I ignored the pain because my "DOCS" all said "this will resolve". well, it got terribly worse, and since Early november my primary care Physcian did his thing to make Money, sent me to his "Buddy" the Chiropractor for three weeks, and then finally "relented" and sent mr to another "Buddy" an Ortho. They opf course start with a Bone scan (that shows nothing) then did an MRI of the Cervical spine that does NOT hurt at all.
In the mean time, I am not a happy freakin camper. Now I am no PUS-C, I can handle pain with the best of them, but this has gotten very silly. I went from standing and lecturing and being an absolutely excellent Bullsh*tter, telling young COPS how to 'DO-IT' to looking like a 98 year old man who walked in front of an AMTRAK TRAIN and sadly survived. I finally convinced them I was not "drug seeking" and they did a T-spine MRI and BINGO!!! a "CYST". Then they did a L-spine MRI and BINGO!!!! another Cyst. But, my "Doc" is not telling me SH*T
So, I go to a "Friend" who is a heavy-hitter MD with Dartmouth and he hooks me up with some INDEPENDENT COCKY YOUNG NEUROSURGEON. This guy has an ego bigger than the Stae of Texas, but MAN does he know his stuff.
So, I got me some "Cysts" on my spine, L/ulna nerve and R/Sciatic nerve. His 'read" is that the spinal cysts are from a very POORLY executed "Passet Block" and the many Missed attempts by a RANK AMATEUR. The cysts on the peripheral nerves are impinging the nerves and are "scar lesions".
So, This guy says
NO CANCER, NO MALIGNANT GROWTHS (sorry for the bold type) but says I need a very skilled surgeon pronto. So I am now calling all my contacts in NYC to find me the FINEST.
I need a favor from you NY'ers.
IF you have a name and some info on a SUPER NEUROSURGEON affiliated with a big-hitter in NYC, could you e-mail me? Use the heading "NYC DOCS". Barbara is not super computer literate and will only look for this heading.
As Usual, I called some of my LEO "Brothers" up here in NH. Since there isn't a free auto-knife, a drunk-fest, or a piece of ARSE involved in this equation, only two of them have responded "code 3". the others are too busy trying to stay "retired on active duty"
Ah, another post on another day when I can type with two hands. Listen, I know I have stepped on my DICK alot of late, and I am sincerely, and very deeply SORRY. If you just Knew me, and I had explained the turn "south" my life has taken once again, it might have made some sense. I am really a genuinely great guy with a big heart, and an awesome left hook, that now cannot even drop my 11 year old daughter
I have come to really love knives and BFC very deeply and it's been sort of my salvation as I try to play "tough guy" on the outside and am scared to death on the inside. I really have NO HUGE EGO, or have ever fit the image of some HERO. I am just "IRA". That's how everyone in NH knows me, and thats how I am defined.
So, I gotta go and get these "cysts" removed. If ya know of the creme of the creme NY Surgeon, I could sure use a name "code-3"
Thanks All.
