the nurse practioner in the phycharist office say the new one and said
"that is moving on quickly" they have said they would file a new clain on
the neck whem the neuro sent the final report to them. the neuro is very
good, but you can't get an appointment to see him even for followup visits.
probably be feburary before i see him again. they said that if what we are
putting in at the 1st of the year does not get me out of there then the neck
problem would be the next thing to write up.

Yes, ISM had a hard go of it.  I think he would be in much better shape
now
if he had gotten away from work sooner.

 yes and no.
they plan on starting botox in jan. the first available appointment. and
no,
this neuro told me "under no circumstance do you want to let a doctor do
sergery on your neck or your shoulders and elbows, with those spasms,
you'd
never heal up".
  with the disk getting worse, i can help but think about ISM. STEVEN
ACTUALLY HAD HIS NECK OR BACK blow out on the job. he has had a rought
time.

I know what you're going through.  Hope they can come up with a
treatment
plan.  Do they plan to ease the spasticity with botox and then do
surgery?
