Hello everyone,
Tommorrow is my 12 week post op exam. I am doing very well with my back and leg recovery and am excited to present this news to my surgeon. But at the same time I am nervous and need to be aggressive in asking questions on what the next step will be in dealing with my potential brachial plexus injury that has been with me since surgery and is causing pretty severe winging of my scapula and shoulder weakness. I also need a letter from them documenting my current condition and outcome potential for my spine condition. I have a very difficult time asking for and being aggressive with what I need due to being victimized by immoral doctors in the W/C system. Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers that I will be strong and find compassion and support from my surgeon on these matters.
Jenny

Jenny,
Know that you are being prayed for.

Hoping things go well and you get some positive answers,

Jenny,
It helps me to write down what I want to remember to ask for, and to be able to do so without hesitation.
Good luck getting what you need~ I think these docs will be glad to help you, unlike the WC system docs..
It was nice meeting you and if I hadn't seen "the" scar I would have never believed you had surgery even! You look great! Keep up the good recovery work!

Jenny, good luck with everything. I'd enjoy catching up live with you at some point to chat a bit.

Your posts have been helpful to many here, and I wish you good luck in the spirit of the good things you have shared. Pls let us know how it goes.
