Well... I didn't think that my pain clinic could get any worse than just
basically ignoring me but... they have. I checked my mail tonight, haven't
done that in a while and what do I find in my mail? What could I have ever
found? The ins co OK'd my surgery for Oct 18th and 'somehow'... my pain
clinic never knew?? How can it be? My pain Dr said he wanted to do my
surgery on Oct 18th. he repeated this to me over and over again on my appt
with him on Oct 22!!! Now I see in my mail that the surgery for the 18th
was APPROVED!! Is this cruel and unusual? My pain has increased
logarithmically since Aug. I can barely walk and am trying to make it on a
max of 2 hours of sleep a night and my pain could be way decreased, WAY!!,
if I had had the surgery before. Why? Is there an answer? I will have to
deal with this tomorrow but... I am literally close to cutting off my
feet. Nerve pain sucks and I just don't know what to do. My pain clinic
seems to think that nerve pain is nothing, like a splinter or hang nail. I
just couldn't believe my eyes when I opened that letter. I am getting
closer and closer to the saw. No feet no pain... What's the worst that
could happen? NOTHING!!!

Thanks again guys, I just can't see this getting any worse but each time
it just does...What have I done? Really I just can't take it.

They may want you to lower your meds for the surgery but I could be
wrong, maybe just lower it but not cut you off I would think, just my blind
shot in the dark, bestluck to you...Joe
