Hi Amber,
It;s just one of those days, ya know.
I don't know; lots of things just "floating around" in the old brain.
It could be fatigue; at least I hope it is.
Guess i'm just winding down from the past week.

Alright,
I cannot sleep before getting this off my chest.
This really interfered with my day and now i'm going to share this with you.
Today I went with my father's real estate agent to show one of his properties to a potential buyer.
There are tenants on the top and bottom floors.
The tenant on the top was not home but her 5 children were there.
Long story short, the sixteen year old daughter was coming onto me and the more I tried to ignore her, the more persistent she was.
Her mother is the type to believe anything her child says, so I tried not to come off as being rude.
For God's sake, I have a daughter around her age(15) and the entire ordeal made me sick to my stomach.
All I could think about was the former 1st floor tenant calling children's services on me, saying that I was abusing my daughter.
She maliciously provided false information because my father began proceedings to evict her.
My daughter had to get examined at the family health center...............
it still bothers me to this day.
I went to check on my cousin later this afternoon and he had a lady friend there sitting by the register.
All they were talking about was sex and innuendo's of that sort.
When I left, I felt sick to my stomach.
My leg has been bothering me more than usual and I have a CT myelogram next week.
Anyway, it's just one bad day, right?
It's just not easy to shake this.
Just needed to let "my family" here know.

Hi Ryan.....I need to call my counselor. Am very down in the dumps and can't seem to enjoy anything or have interest in anything. I won my case last week and had no happiness from it. The other side can still appeal the Judge's decision and that will take another maybe 45-50 until I am sure I won and get any money. It doens't matter any more. What matters is the problems and pain from frozen shoulder, The fact that PT keeps beating the &^%* out of the muscles in my arm. the pain I can't take anymore and now the depression. I'm not giving up just need to get me in order again.

The depression has seemed to set in.
For some strange reason, I felt that you would find no pleasure from a favorable decision. The thing is there is no closure yet.
Please call your counselor; you know i'm behind any positive decision you make.
You know the natural order of things: Pain and then the depression from having to tolerate it.
What did the MRI show?
Let the PT clinic know what your pain level is.
I cannot see any therapist seeing you in extreme pain adding "insult to injury" so to speak.
No heating blanket over the arm?
Please keep me "posted".

You are an extremely giving person, Ryan - but is there any extra energy for people who don't appreciate you right now?

You need some support right now. I'm sorry that I've been so sporatic with posting.
How are you today?? I don't know how you have functioned for so long with so much pain. Is it getting any better at all?
We know how much physical pain can contribute to depression - and also the feelings of helplessness, which in turn can trigger some PTSD residue. I'm so sorry that things have gotten so bad for you.
Do you have anything at all that you can look forward to? Something that you really want to do - that you deserve. I know when the depression has this kind of a hold, thinking of something that we can look forward to is out of the question.... but, I just thought that I would be annoying and ask you anyway!:D
Take care of yourself, please.
Love you,

Dear Ryan....Just want to wish you luck with the myelogram. Cervical right? I had one of my lumbar years ago and it actually kept me out of surgery, which was a blessing.
To all.......i read everyday but have been so down it's hard to answer as all of you know. I have an appt. with my therapist on the 1st. it was the best she could do. No Brachial Plexus injury which is good news. I have put my foot down with PT and told them they need to come up with another movement that WILL NOT re-create the pain. 90% of the pain is gone. Shoulder is still frozen. Have a really long recuperation to get through this. I tried and tried and no one would listen. The pain of walking into PT in tears and them ripping into me and making it worse day by day has really taken it;s toll on me. Beka...you nailed it. The pain, sleepless nights, the pain getting worse, no answers, not knowing if and when this will ever end causes depression AND a PTSD flare up. I'll be fine. Just ned to crrawl out of this whole I'm in and only have one hand to do it with:(
Ryan.....So you knew all along this decision wouldn't make me happy. You know me well. It actually made me feel worse. WHY:confused:

Dear Grasshopper:
Thanks with respect to the well wishes concerning my myelogram.
It is scheduled for the lumbar region.
Hopefully i'll have the same luck as you; don't really want any more surgeries.
Recovering in the hospital did not go well for me at all.
Good for you with respect to taking "the bull by the horns" so to speak.
Can't crawl out of the hole with one arm, huh?
Well you know that our added support here might be just what "the doctor ordered" so to speak.
You received a temporary decision, so to speak.
As you stated, this can easily be sent to the appellate level.
Hopefully it doesn't come to that.
Even if they don't appeal and you get the full settlement, it doesn't erase the fact that you are going through the recuperative process.
Someone told me that it was one step forward, two steps back at times;
hmmmm, I wonder who said that? ;)

Dear Ryan;) I guess how you explained my feeling with the favorable decision I saw clearly for a long time with your situation. You're right. It doesn't, no amount of money, will ever take away the physical suffering. I don't know if I would call this a temporary decision . It's up to the IC's attorney if he apeals or not and from what I've heard of him he will just because he likes to stall things to earn HIS money. Either way. I won fair and square. hands down decision. I nor my attorney can come up with any reason for them to appeal. Should be interesting. The attorney for the other side has lied several times and gotten away with it. My attorney feels certain if he does appeal that we will slam them again. I just wnat to feel normal. I just want to want to get up in the morning. No enjoyment, just pain and aggravation. I feel for sure that since I see it I will be fine. It's just a matter of digging my way out again and right now I'm tired, disgusted, bored, sick o fthe pain and aggravation that comes with it all. I'm trying.

It appears that I have used the wrong terminology.
Correct me if i'm wrong: you won and this can be appealed, which may or may not change the dollar amount associated with your particular case.
What i meant by "temporary" was the fact that you don't know whether or not it will be appealed at this juncture.
They better not!:mad:
Ah yes, normality; I almost forget what that term implies anymore.
Of course you're "tired, disgusted, bored, sick of the pain and aggravation that comes with it all."
That my dear, is normal, based upon the cards you were dealt.
I know you are trying; in fact, we all do.
You will find your "spring" again to leap like the Grasshopper I know; this, I am sure of it.

Oh Ryan....what we go through. It's so hard to live everyday life with it's ups and downs but to be physically and emotionally handicapped makes it 100 times harder. You know, all my life I had people tell me how strong I am. I don't want to be strong, I want to be peaceful. Strong to me is having to always stand up to some horror in my life.
You are partially right about my case. Since it's work related the Judge is saying that the IC is to pay me since I have proved reasonable doubt and no other evidence shows that I am anything but credible. At some point they owe me my wages for over a year and my paycheck every week. IF they appeal it's just a matter of time until I win that also. Medical evidence is on my side and there is nothing and no one to contradict it. Somewhere down the road IF/WHEN I cannot return to my job which 3 Dr.s have already said and my employer has agreed they will want to settle instead of paying me for life. That''s a whole other Hot Dog to come later. I see no reason for them to appeal but who am I?
Pin cushion you are my friend. God bless you. I have gone to the other extreme. I am petrified for anyone to touch any part of me that already hurts. Have never been like this in my life but this surgery did me in. Because I'm older? First joint surgery? The pain afterwards? I'm healing slowly because of my age and diabetes? Probably all of the above. I just didn't see it coming out this way. Wasn't prepared for what happened.

Dear Grasshopper:
You have to be at ease before you can "hop" again.
All the strength in the world is not going to get a grasshopper to jump freely and peacefully, until it is ready to do so.
I hear you; i truly do.
Got a little secret to share; I don't want to do this test because i am concerned for the inevitable; surgery.
I still don't get how a person can put a price on pain and suffering; i know there's a formula but no two people are the same.
In your aggravated state, I wouldn't want anyone touching me even with feathers; not your age but your experience after surgery.
Be well.

You are so bright Ryan. It still amazes me even after as long as we have been friends. That my friend is why a settlement/winning doesn't mean crap to me. It won't help the pain. But you knew that from the beginning HUH?
My prayers will stay with you always. Please let me know step by step what's going on with the test and all DR.s visits. I care.
I feel as if I have suffered another trauma from this surgery. From the minute I walked in it was not what I have experienced with any other surgery. From the nurse killing me and blowing veins trying to hook an IV up , to the anesthesia team sticking the Nerve block in various places in my neck of course while I was awake, I woke up during the surgery, and of course the pain being made unbearable through PT. No relief. At one point I knew I couldn't take anymore. But it continued anyway. So I ahve made that appt. with my counselor since I see this and feel as if another trama has occured and know from experience it needs to be treated differently. God bless you my firend. That's the first time I have really been able to get that out.

My prayers will stay with you always. Please let me know step by step what's going on with the test and all DR.s visits. I care.
I feel as if I have suffered another trauma from this surgery. From the minute I walked in it was not what I have experienced with any other surgery. From the nurse killing me and blowing veins trying to hook an IV up , to the anesthesia team sticking the Nerve block in various places in my neck of course while I was awake, I woke up during the surgery, and of course the pain being made unbearable through PT. No relief. At one point I knew I couldn't take anymore. But it continued anyway. So I ahve made that appt. with my counselor since I see this and feel as if another trama has occured and know from experience it needs to be treated differently. God bless you my firend. That's the first time I have really been able to get that out.

Oh Ryan I am so glad that's over with for you. I had no pain with mine but hubby said his was brutal. I guess it has to do with the degree of injury. Sorry! How long do you have to wait for results?

Ryan ...please let me know.
No appeal. Check arrived today. Still no smile. PT was brutal today. Going to soak in a nice warm bath and try to loosen some muscles.
Thank you for always caring.

Grasshopper;
Once I know the results, I will definitely post.
So, the check arrived; one positive thing is that justice prevailed.(positive)
PT may have been brutal but you got through it; probably mumbling under your breath, but completed today's therapy session. (positive)
Soaking in a nice warm bath to loosen the muscles. (positive)
Sometimes it's just nice to stop and "smell the roses at times."
This is one of those moments.
Take care.
