I have been busy with doctors and hospitals. My neck has finally about gave out on me. I have Degenerative Arthritis and also had a neck injury  at work. Use to have 2 disks bad C-4 and C-5 now its 2 through 6 and a Bone spur on the neck along with the holes closing and crushing the nerves. Mount Carmel hospital neurologists Said it was one on the worse cases they seen and I should report to Cleveland clinic. So its been one place after another. So Cleveland is getting appointments for treatments as they would not rather operate with it like that. So going to put me under an x-ray and try to numb some nerves with a cortisone/ steroid mixture using the xray to locate separate nerves. Will continue different sessions till they find the group bothering me. When they do they'll set up another treatment using the x-ray to locate the bad ones and the needle will turn red on the end and burn the nerve off.  While this don't seem pleasant and even awful painful they said it is better then disrupting a neck in that shape. For now I have to start therapy with a special spine therapist and rub a N SAID gel on the neck. Also not to do much of any thing that might disturb the neck bones. Let me tell you this neck brace sucks. LOL! No lifting or bumps,riding a mower or car. NO SEX! I said what can i do he says rest! LOL! I said there is plenty of time after you die for that. Oh and if luck means any thing. So far this month my riding mower blew up, my finish mower on my tractor is busted, Ive had two cameras quit my 1500.00 Sony and my 350.00 back up, Dropped my wife's keys in  Lake Erie and lost them, got pulled over for speeding,my door on my smoker broke, My 1000.00 gps/plotter quit working,my boat battery went bad and that's just to start the list! I always said if it wasn't for bad luck I wouldn't have any! But do i need to get it all! LOL! If any one here prays I could use all the help I can get.  I will try to be one more. Seems its about all I can do!

Prayers coming your way.  Back after the Northridge eathquake in '94 I was feeling down with  all we lost. Saw a sign in front of this church that said " Don't curse what you lost, thank God for what you have left." So I try to keep that in mind when a wave of bad luck comes. And remember, no matter how bad it all seems there is always someone that has it worse.

Paul,When I had my last heart attack,I wasn't thinking about any material things.Just my family.All I'm saying is You get better.
Everything else will fall into place.I'll be Praying for you,Buddy.

Sorry material things don't matter! LOL! My family and friends and my two dogs are my world. I was just trying to show how my luck runs. I'm also proud to say we kept on going during all that with out remorse. Well would have loved to had more pics of reception. But others took some so all is well! I start my day thanking God because he woke me up. And Im know to give rather then sale most every thing. thats how we got raised. But got to admit those treatments are scary. But I will man up and not sweat them either.

[mikecorn.1]

Dam! Sorry about all the bad luck. Hang in there buddy.  :)

[Quarlow]

Viper it is a good thing bad things only come in 3's. LOL I know how the pain goes. I have a bad back from a fall I took when I was 8. I hope you get some relief from the pain and they can then treat your condition. Oh and I hope you win the lottery to help replace all those broken down live accessories.  ;D

[Keymaster]

I hope you get some relief with the steroid shots Viper. I have degenerative disk disease too and had surgery a year and a half ago and that worked for about a year but the pain has come back so I need some steroid shots again. Pinched nerves are one of  the most painful things in the world. My problems are down in the L5 region, I cant imagine having it in my neck. You really didn't lose your keys cause you know right where their at, in the middle of the lake ;D Best of luck to you Viper!!!!!
