Just wanted to let everyone know in one message instead of telling it over and over again, what's going on.
My husband is doing good, and we have made a pledge to try and work things out... BOTH of us, working together.
My daughter is in alternative school because she was caught high at school. She is now going to NA meetings and staying clean. The relationship between us is rocky, at best, but ok.
I have been given a preliminary diagnosis of Thoracic Outlet Syndrome. I had to look it up on the internet to find out what it was. It is when the Brachial Nerve is pinched by the Scalpulal Muscle and the First Rib. There are three ways of fixing it if, in fact, this is what it turns out to be. One: physical therapy (ihopeihopeihope) Two: orthoscopic-type surgery (two small incisions that allow them to go in and "adjust" the brachial nerve) and Three: major surgery (three semi-small incisions on ribcage, above collarbone, and on the back that allows them to move muscle, nerve and rib back where each belongs)
I have been given an appointment with a vascular surgeon to make sure that this diagnosis is correct so i'm looking forward to at least three more tests (according to the net) and whatever else they have to do to convince themselves that this is right or wrong. I'm hoping (praying) that this new doctor is of the same calliber as the rest and is not afraid of answering questions, cuz i have a lot of them.
Anyway, keep me in your prayers and don't be surprised if i disappear again (LOLOL, all i seem to be doing lately). And if some one out there could maybe put in a word for clarity, i would appreciate it. I'm having to decide whether it is important for me to work right now or not, or try to keep my job or not.
Thanx guys, Love and Light. Starchild

Two words....
OWWW-WEEEEEE!
That sounds so painful!
It is good to hear that you and the hubby are making an effort. Sorry to hear about you daughter. (She's lucky though, cause I think I'd have killed her.) I know we'll definitely send some energy your way. Hopefully you'll find out that the physical therapy is all you'll need...or at worst, the minor surgury.

Well, glad things seem like they're looking up. I wish you nothing but the best in the (near) future.
