Guest guest Posted November 4, 2005 Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 June, I am very happy that it is working for you. I know it isn't easy to understand. One of my best pain relievers for my ankles to to put my feet right on the jets of my hot tub. It's better than any pain reliever that I've ever been given. It's massage and accupressure all in one. I tired acupuncture many years ago and it didn't help. My mom had tendonitis in her elbow and it totally cured it in 2 treatments. This was after seeing doctors and going to PT with no relief. I hope you continue to get relief. How is your eye? a On Nov 1, 2005, at 6:48 PM, June Dixon wrote: > a, I know how much you suffer with your ankle so wanted to let > you know what I am doing.

Guest guest Posted November 4, 2005 Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 a, unfortunately, it is much worse. I can see light but cannot read anything and now he tells me the cornea is breaking up. I am hoping the specialist I see on Nov 21 will have some magical way to heal the cornea vs an implant. I am now in the process of getting in touch with the medical records dept of the hospital where this all began just after my knee replacement. I am not looking at suing anyone, just want to know why two days after my surgery (no general anesthetic) how did I develop heart failure etc. My eye doc believes it was wearing an oxygen mask that didn't fit properly, thereby with the continual blowing on my right eye, dried out the cornea. It must be in my records how many times I complained to the nurses about it. Hugs June ----- Original Message ----- From: a June, I am very happy that it is working for you.

Guest guest Posted November 4, 2005 Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 June, If you lost your vision due to a medical error that was repeatedly reported, I would hope that you would get compensation. You deserve it if you've got permanent damage. You told them several times that the oxygen was drying out your eye. There are plenty of doctors that would testify for you, just not the ones that work in the hospital that it happened at. An attorney would know which doctors to send you to. I just hope you get your vision back and there be no need for litigation. If you see an attorney, they would request the records and based on what they find, they would probably take the case on contingency, meaning no money out of your pocket. Of course since you are in Canada, the legal system may be different. a On Nov 4, 2005, at 4:05 PM, June Dixon wrote: > a, unfortunately, it is much worse.
