My faith is in the LORD God and I trust HIM implicitly and know HE prepares me and each of us before we go through any experience and HE uses each of us to bless others.
I appreciate prayers
I am recovering from two neurosciences on my wrists earlier this year at Baltimore MD, VAMC - both were infected . I had a successful lumbar laminectomy at Baltimore MD VAMC in 2019. I have been stymied by a triage nurse there. In 1986, I was diagnosed with a flat neck at Fort Benning due to osteoarthritis from C-7 to C-4 [worse C-7 to C-5]. The nerves between C-4 and C-3 are pinched. that is why I had the wrist surgeries and my right shoulder and upper arm as well as neck are very sore due to the pinched nerves.
I have not been able to feel anything except significant pain below my neck through my feet [I can fell an urge to piss and poop [though - usually - have had a few accidents and take a portable urinal with me usually on long trips.
I have a consult to Walter Reed National Military neurosurgery and am hopeful they will perform a CT myelogram there since I have ferrous wires in my heart.
Early this afternoon, I have an appointment with my trustworthy VAMC podiatrist because I have calcaneal spurs dorsal and plantar - I can only feel the dorsal spur. Then I have an EMG/NCV - had one last autumn - they test my nerves in my wrists and arms and then stick a needle into the major nerve in my right shoulder - which hurts. I am trying to get a copy of that record to take to Walter Reed and the neck/chest X-ray that Baltimore, VAMC took on July 24 with the radiologist report.
I hope you are each doing very well. Respectfully, Steve Ford
Sometimes I feel so uninspired
