> Excellent Mike!

> S.

---------

(1) Thank you.

(2) I have been thinking the list should maybe start a pool to see

who can guess closest to the date that some " conventional " provider

gets on here, reads one too many of my posts, places one phone call

to the Washington State Department of Health, and gets my license

pulled.

(3) Joking aside, I fully understand and accept that some of

my " critical comment " posts could cause such severe offense to the

establishment that I could have my license jerked in a heartbeat.

(4) And if it should happen - care to guess how much of a stink/fuss

I could/would cause if I were " operating outside " the establishment

instead of technically still within it?

MIKE, WHAT WOULD I DO WITHOUT YOU?!? HERE WE GO!

WELL, FROM WHAT MY DOCTOR TOLD ME THE X-RAYS SAID, THEY ARE ON THE

BACK SIDE, PUSHING ON THE SPINAL CORD. RISK? I DON'T KNOW-I GUESS

IF THEY DON'T GET WORSE, AND I HAVE NO NEUROLOGICAL SYMPTOMS RIGHT

NOW, MAYBE IT ISN'T A RISK? THE MRI DOESN'T REALLY ADDRESS THE

SPURS. MIKE, DO YOU HAVE A FAX NUMBER I COULD FAX YOU SOME STUFF LIKE

THE MRI REPORT, THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR PT. ETC? IF NOT, I CAN SEND

THEM AS ATTACHMENTS ALSO. WHICH DO YOU PREFER?

I USE MSM, AND HAVE USED GLUCOSAMINE BEFORE. WOULD THE GLUCOSAMINE

I GUESS NOT, BUT BEING A SPINE SPECIALIST, I WAS HOPING FOR A LITTLE

MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY. DOESN'T IT TEAR DOWN TISSUE OR BONE??? I

THOUGHT SO.

MIKE, HERE IS THEIR WEBSITE, AND I WILL BE SEEING SUNDEE HEGGEN. I

WILL DEFINATELY ASK IF SHE HAS ANY TRAINING IN THE ENERGY MODALITIES!

I WOULD LOVE THAT, BECAUSE THEN IT WOULD BE COVERED BY INSURANCE.

SADLY TO SAY, MONEY IS AN ISSUE RIGHT NOW. :(

MIKE, ONE THING THE MRI REPORT DID SAY, WAS THAT THE SPINE

WAS " STRAIGHT " (I'M GUESSING IT SHOULDN'T BE, WHERE IT IS, ANYWAY)

PROBABLY DUE TO BACK SPASMS. DOES THAT TELL YOU ANYTHING??? I DO

THING SOME OF IT IS BAD POSTURE, BUT TO ME, IT FEELS LIKE MY

SHOULDERS ARE MORE FORWARD EVEN IF I SIT UP STRAIGHT. DOES THAT MAKE

SENSE? WHAT DO I ASK THE PT IN REGARDS TO THIS SPECIFICALLY???

THAT WOULD BE GREAT - I'M GOING TO GET A BACK SUPPORT FOR MY CHAIR

THAT HAS AIR BAGS AND CAN BE CHANGED ACCORDING TO HOW I FEEL. IT'S

NOT VERY EXPENSIVE. I THINK I CAN GET THAT COVERED BY WORK - I HOPE!

ALSO A DIFFERENT DESK THAT HAS A PULL OUT SIDE BOARD FOR THE MOUSE,

AND A KEYBOARD THING THAT IS ADJUSTABLE. I HOPE TO GET ALL OF THESE

SOON.

HA HA LOL!!! I LOVE IT, MIKE!!! I GOT A GOOD CHUCKLE FROM THIS, AND

I NEEDED IT ABOUT NOW! I'LL DO IT! :)

WELL, I 'THINK' HE FELT THE ENERGY, BUT HE HASN'T DONE A LOT OF IT

WITH ME, DUE TO THE LIMITATIONS OF HIS SHOULDER PAIN RIGHT NOW. I

WOULD LOVE IT IF YOU COULD TEACH HIM SOMETHING TO HELP! I'LL BUY YOU

THAT GAS FOR YOUR MOBILE HOME!!! DEAL?

THANKS MIKE, SO MUCH!
