Thread Name: A hand surgery question?
Subject: RE: A hand surgery question?
Mr. Deckman - I feel SINCERE emaphty for you situation.



ABOVE ALL - try to asssure that ALL furture treatments for the are covered - refuse a "cash settlement" if it is offered........You need treatment FOR LIFE concerning the injury.



I in an unfortunately event - my lower right thumb was rearly severed in a nasty - work related accident.....bones protruded on moth sides.



A trip the nearest hospitol (they thrived on industrial accidents and all they could milk from them) quickly made me aware that I had fallen through a black-hole of the structure - my care would be with spiders and snakes you would milk the system and fill their wallets.



I RAN from the inductrial clinic, nightgown flying, right before the stuck the IV in......four our a phone calls....networkiong with friends......brough be to the surgeon - surgeon consult when their entire career is at a loss.



It's five years down the road of recovery. Practice sessions are 20 minutes long.   The pain at night is DEVILISH - with a brace/ without.


I believe this doctor can fix it....he is not cheap ...... he fixes other surgeons hands.



Right hand is 60 there.......I want 100 percent .......I want to play keyboards like I used to.



Record your Observatiions


Note Times and Places


Record discomfort


Present a list of what you want to do in the furture



Ask - "With God's grace, some talent, practice and this opperation can I arrive?

Sincerely,


Gargoyle




I have reached my old potential - I need the slow drag, sluggish pain, to disapear for my right hand to connect again to a keyboard. (Thank You Workmans Compensation)
