well, i finally found out what is wrong with me.

my shoulder has been killing me for a good reason.

i saw an orthopedic doctor and he said he thought the problem was actually from my neck and not my shoulder.

Well, I finally found out what is wrong with me. My shoulder has been killing me for a good reason. I saw an orthopedic doctor and he said he thought the problem was actually from my neck and not my shoulder. He ordered another MRI to be taken of my neck. Well, that was supposed to be for next week. The pain got so bad that I went to the emergency room ( it was shooting down my arm and my fingers were numb ) they gave me an MRI and told me they would send the results to my doctor. My doctor called me the very next day and told me he had refered me to another orthopedic doctor in the same building and he wanted to see me that day. I went in and found out that I have a ruptured disc in my neck that it is pressing on my spine. Well, I need surgery and right away. It is scheduled for next week. They will be removing the disc and replacing it with a piece, with tiny rods and pins. Since it is in my neck they can't do the surgery from the back because my spine is in the way, so they have do make an incision from the front of my neck. He said I will be horse for a week or two afterwards because he has to move my voice box to the side to do the work. I will be out of work for 4 weeks at the least and will have to wear a neck brace for the same time. Guys, please think of me. I will let you know how things go. I have to call on Monday to get my Pre lab work done on Tuesday and schedule for the surgery. This thing hurts so bad, he says most people have immediate relief after the surgery, I hope I am one of them. Just keep me in your thoughts and well wishes.

Hugs,

Ever go to a meeting DRUNK?

a few years ago i was living with a buddy of mine here in downtown calgary.

we were both inactive dubs but still half - assed on the fence.

one night i came home from work and there was a slew of beer bottles all over the living room, and my buddy slouching on the couch in his suit and tie, beer in hand.

Dimples

No..but I know several who did. One brother you could smell the alcohol on his breath when he spoke, I often wondered how he got away with that. We had several alcoholics in our congregation.

A sister spoke to me today......

i ran into a sister from my former congregation today, not seen her for a few months, and expected her to shun me like most of them do.

however, she made a point of talking to me,( and she knows i da'd recently).

after the usual how are you stuff she told me that even though i'm da'd she still considers me a friend and won't ignore me whatever the rest of them do, and whatever the elders say about it.

Dimples

That is so nice to hear. I too was always uncomfortable with the shunning thing, It just isn't right and look where I am now. OUT!! She seems like a nice person and hopefully she will check out the forum and hopefully will learn lots of things here.
