The epidurals just for temp relief? I've had spinal taps but never epidural. Does it hurt?
Depends on how much numbing stuff they hit me with first... But yes...its painful.Quote:

Hope u enjoyed the read^^^
I know many wont read it cause of how long it is.
Kinda like this entire thread...but its my release.
Yesterday the chief called me in his office and now advised that i can no longer wear plain clothes. He wants me in uniform to sit in the office.
So now im in uniform...but i cant carry my duty weapon because im not qualified with it...and my leather gear was given to the part timer....
So first he brought me back in...then he made me midshift secretary so it was harder to socialize...then i got in trouble cause other officers were hangin out in the office and talking to me... And now he wants to pull anynlast bit of comfort from me...

Thanks man... But its destroying me from the inside out.Quote:

So today my attorney (the one or the workmans comp BS) emailed me with a tid bit of infomation that was interesting. Interesting because I want to be there... and also because my BOSS, looked me straight in the face and lied, JUST YESTERDAY.
Yesterday ,my boss in the midst of our conversation said, "I dont know anything about anything that is going on with your court litigation for workman's comp."
Yet today,. MY attorney let me know that March 6th at 9:30 am is when the BOSS made his deposition appointment with the workman's comp attorneys ..... Something that my attorney learned a few days ago....
Damn I fucken HATE liars!
It's all part of the game man. Just gotta keep your cool so you can play it and not get played.
Workers comp is a crap shoot , everyone on the Insurence companies and employers side are all liers and full of deception no matter what it's a sad sad situation. It sure changes a person and there views . In there eyes you are a criminal trying to steal there money .
Worst part is, I don't want their fuken money, and Ive said it..let me fix my hip and Ill get back at what I love to do... thats it.Quote:

Well in 12.5 hours I'll be on the table again...signing a release for another risk of paralysis...to take 2 3.5"-4.0" (ive only had quick glympses of the needle) shoved into two locations in my spine....
In an attempt to finally control MOST of the back pain in an attempt to get me back out on the street... Maybe even with the torn hip....
One bridge at a time... We will see.

Wow... two epidurals in the same day.. is killer....
And because Miss Popo started her new job today, I could not take the valium that they prescribe me to relax, so I was very tense, which you can imagine makes getting all 3.5-4" of needle harder to get inside my spine....
Im sore now, and swelling, keeping the ice on it, and hoping this is it..... hoping I can be ME again soon.
It always gets worse, before it gets better. How long are they thinking for this treatment path?
THATS IT... WE hit it so aggressive, I maxed the "healthy" amount of steroids that they are willing to inject into me.... before causing adverse effects.Quote:

im not sure if you've done it like that before. but I feel your pain on that part. especially when you can feel it the most without a numbing agent. you'd figured they might have given you something like that before going on with that??Quote:

So now the new game..
Ive been put in charge of working with the patrol veh electronics installer and the camera system people to get all of our malfunctioning equiptment working.
And i finnally have 80% fixed.... Now the boss sends out a memo for prepatrol electonics checks and threatens dicipline if not checked.
Well thats great to keep the guys from messing with the cameras...but it now makes me the bad guy that has to review the vids every day..and report guys if they are not doi g what they should.
Sooooo i get in trouble if i dont do what the boss says...but the guys will now look at me as the bad guy.
Hes freakin totally alienating me...
Sigh!

Well on Friday I got an email from my attorney with a copy of a letter from one of my original injury Doctors.
I stopped seeing that Doctor when he told me, I need to find something else to do in life, cause I will never get better.
He said, Im as good as Im gonna get, about 1 year ago..... Im way better now, and I was not willing to accept that then,
or ever. Now for the kicker, we requested a written report from him stating what he had said back then and he sent us
back a note saying that he received a copy of the shady Insurance company Doctor who said there is nothing wrong with
me and how he fully agrees. He goes on to say that my Doctor who has been working hard at getting me better is beneath
himself and the shady Doctor and what he says shouldn't even matter. Only the SHADY Dr and my old Dr are right that
there is nothing wrong with me... and to prove it he says "this is evident since Mr Hanna has not returned to see me."
YOU MOTHERFUKER!!! I DIDN'T RETURN BECAUSE YOU GAVE UP ON ME AND I DIDNT< I WANTED TO GET BETTER AND YOU WASHED YOUR HANDS. I LEFT BECAUSE I LOVE BEING A COP, AND I REFUSED TO GIVE UP.
Im not sure what the fuck Ive done in this life time to be surrounded by so many game playing liars, who at one time or another I had trusted with my health... Guess my wallet wasn't big enough..
Oh yeah, and to top it off.. that letter cost $400 !
ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTED!
The surgeon that recommended a bi-level disc replacement said that even if I chose against it I still needed to come see him every 3 months to show that I was still being "treated" and therefore "not well". Only problem with that was he was only interested in treating one area of my back not both. Well they both hurt, so what's the point of going under the knife for a chance at partial pain relief? No thanks. Not to mention the doctors visits consisted of me losing an entire days pay, 3 hours of driving, 2 hours of waiting, then 5 minutes of shooting the shit, then the copay of $75. I stopped going after the 3rd visit because I felt it was a waste, but I'm not better.
So I guess in our case, not going = WE'RE HEALED!!!!
The whole system is shady.
But remember that NOT GOING in my case was because I found another Dr.. one who wanted to help me get better. Its not that I was no longer seeing a Doctor anymore...just not the POS that gave up on me.Quote:

In my case, I just went back to my family doctor. But the surgeon doesn't know that. So I suppose he'll be sending my lawyer a letter like that too. Fantastic.Quote:

Yup... at noon, I have to go see a NEW Independent Medical Examination Doctor for the insurance company. The is the equivalent to the SHADY Dr that originally said there is nothing wrong with me.
Funny how he can be so independent , but he is paid for by the law office representing the Insurance company...
Worst part is.... Im feeling better, I want to get back out there... My hip is still torn and needs to be fixed, but all of these games they are playing are keeping me from getting the surgery and getting better... meaning that I will fight fight fight... and either be forced back with the torn hip... or they will say to get it fixed, and I will have another 3-6 months out... when I could be handling it.
He wont send it unless asked for it.. We actually requested it because we wanted documentation that he said I would never work again.. and he shit on me.Quote:

Welllll, today I had ANOTHER,INDEPENDENT MEDICAL EXAMINATION with an "unbiased" Doctor, paid for by the law office of the insurance company, who said that a torn hip is no big deal.....
You should offer to kindly tear his hip for him and you can shake hands and go about your individual days because "it's no big deal," right?Quote:
