<t>Mike is leaving work early today so I can see my occupational therapist. I picked up 9 lbs in fluid as of yesterday due to swelling. Today I am 2 lbs heavier. I can see my fingers and palm increasing in swelling. The pain from this is increasing. I called my therapist to see what I could do where...

<t>Thank You All for your Best Wishes & Prayers. I am not a religious person but, in spite of the horrific accident I had, God has been at my side every step of the way.<br/> <br/> Dr. Sang-Gil Lee did not perform the surgery the way we had discussed. My legs are fully intact and not operated on...

<t>Tomorrow is my big day at MGH, Boston, MA. My nerve graft surgery is scheduled for 10:00 AM. My hopes and prayers are for this to be a huge success and I will get movement and feeling back in my left arm and hand again. It will be about 6 months before it is known if the elbow comes back but I ha...

<t>Hi Tiffany,<br/> <br/> I just ran a search on NH, MA, & ME to see if there was any adult in my area that I could talk to about their BPI injury. I don't know if this will help you but these are the doctors that treated me the day of my accident at Mass General Hosp. <br/> <br/> I was on my wa...

<r>I am so sorry to hear about your injury. I can't help you with doctors in the Florida area. But if you are willing to try out of that area I would contact Jonathan Michael Winograd at Mass General Hospital 617-726-1915.<br/> Sang-Gil Lee, M.D.,P.C 617-724-8972 (my doctor) His Administrative Assis...

<t>Jim, Chris and All,<br/> I am usually the first to chase down a second opinion however, all the professionals I have talked with tell me that I am very fortunate to have the trauma team that operated on me the day of my accident and are the team that is following me through this entire ordeal. Th...

<t>Hi Marike,<br/> Thank you for your suggestions... (You might need an actual anti-spasmodic for the spasms... Baclofen (Lioresal) or Zanaflex (Tizanidine).) .. I talked with my PCP and she said I have not been off methadone long enough to take those meds. In fact, she wants me back on 5 mg of meth...
