Guest guest Posted June 19, 2006 Report Share Posted June 19, 2006 I thought you all might have some opions on this story. I know I do. Several weeks ago I had a CT scan and lumbar mylegram. The results are in. I saw the " doctor " last Friday. This was the frist time heard the R word (revision) applied specifically to me. My spine is like a house of cards, and unles something really goes sproing, they are going to leave it alone. When it " breaks " it should really go, at least that's the feeling I got. I have pain but not anywhere near as much as some of you. I can get away from it and my life is still fairly normal. I really am okay " as is " for now. I had not had anyone look at my spine seriously since 1975, and it was time for a base line of tests and information to be in the system. The weird thing was that I requested a copy of the CT report and the doctor told me NO. He quote was: " go live your life, I don't want you to worry about it " . I'll get a copy of that report, but I thought that response was unappropriate. I won't mention a name, but I am not impressed with this guy, and he would not be the one to ever do any surgery on me. Anyone else ever heard that phrase from a doctor before? I am impressed with the fact that I was able to contact on-line the doctor that did my original fusion in 1968 - Dr. Eugene Bleck. He answered me back! He is 83, retired from Stanford, and doing well. Obviously, his work on me did a great job for 38 years. Let's hope it holds for a while longer. Thanks for reading!
