Hi Maria
I know you must know being a nurse, that having ESIs may hinder surgery for you. I guess what I am really trying to say is, why dont you have the surgery? I know I have asked this before, but I didnt fully understand. If your in so much pain, on so many meds, getting 6 ESIs a year, why would you ever want to wait one more day? There is great resolution to this pain of yours. I so want you to have it. Please dont be mad at my boldness here. I care alot about you and all you go through. But being on the otherside...makes everything so clear. Please, please dont take offense...I just dont understand.
