    JK> I hope all is going well for you these days :)   
      
   Pretty well... things have been quite busy, though.... ;0

    JK> He may not be also able to get surgery not so much for those reasons   
    JK> but because he is the 'sole caregiver' for his Aunt... there are   
    JK> somethings I just can't help her with (diabetis injections, for   
    JK> example).  So he's got some app'ts this week to discuss options with   
    JK> his neuro surgeon.    
      
   True... some things don't take any vacations, like daily injections...   
   so he couldn't afford to be laid up for any period of time.... hopefully   
   there will be some good viable alternatives...   
      
    > She found relief from the   
    > pressure point injections... the doctor she went to for that (here in   
    > the Rochester area) was Cecilia Ransom... she was part of the Unity   
    > Rehabilitation and Neurology group, and we saw her at the office at 2655   
    > Ridgeway Ave, Suite 420... I don't know if she has any other locations   
    > or not, but it might be worth checking out...   
      
    JK> I'll mention this to him, who knows the docs may already be planning   
    JK> on discussing this type treatment with him this week.   
      
   Could be... just thought I'd pass it along... I think it's a form of   
   acupuncture... wasn't very common when we discovered it existed, but it   
   might be more mainstream now...   
      
    > In any case, I hope that Ron can find SOME relief....!   
      
    JK> Thank you Nancy, I also hope they can do -something- soon.. it's kind   
    JK> of nutso here right now :(   
      
   I can well imagine... pain isn't at all fun....   
      
   ttyl        neb   
      
   ... Save changes?  (Y)es, (N)o, (W)hat changes?!?
