I don't know about the nerve block shot's,
but what did you do about the fracture?
It's now 5:30, been up since 4, can't
sleep because of the pain's. Sometime's I
feel like going back and partying it up
but, I know it's not the cure even though
it may give some relief. Stay strong and
don't go back. Am I making any sense?
It's early, i'm tired, can't sleep, can't
work, not that I want to, got to go, I
think you know what I talking about.

thought of it but remember all the hard
times I went threw from it you know jails

months and have a family to suport its a
hard dession to make email back tjflooringremodelin@yahoo.Com or any

I've been out from work since may 05 and
can't see going back for at least a couple
more month's. My situation is different
than your's, it seem's that you have a
choice whether to have surgery or not, I
may have had the final decision, but I was
out of option's, my condition was getting
worse. If you believe surgery will help,
assuming you have tried everything else,
then 10 month's of your life may be worth
it. Do you have any benefit's from work
that may help? Unemployment? Believe me,
if my wife did'nt work, we'd be in a world
of hurt right now. Maybe you could even
do some less physical type of work just to
make a little cash while your off. Learn
while your off, take an internet class,
look into something different and
enjoyable. There's a lot off money to be
made if you have the know how to do it.
Use your brain, not your back. Look at
the big shot's, they do it, and who's
making more? Maybe this a way to say your
going to change thing's, go back to
school, learn something new, and do a lot
better for myself and my family in the
long run. Steevo
