They couldn't keep me any longer because my insurance said I was not making "significant improvement" as a C4/5 as most of my damages is at C4 level. I am hoping to go back for reevaluation as I have not been in for a total physical in the 15 years. I'm going to be in Stockton on Saturday to pick up a puppy, hope your weather is warmer than ours.

My best, Brien Joan, I was  in valleymed from january through may (3.5 months in halo).  Even as a c-7 with c-8 function, I highly endorse the halo's stabilizing benefits and regret that I was not haloed immediately after my 2 surgeries.  To err on the side of caution for haloing people with cervical sci is well worth it.  Wow, c-4 function is pretty diminished.  I commend you on your apparent quality of life.  I bet you have a tremendous realm of people around you.  That is what I attribute to my happiness and continued ascension through life.  A visit with Dr Shem at outpatient services: 408-885-4839, would  REALLY help you.  She is one of the finest P M & R doctors under whose care I have been!!!!! What kinda puppy are you getting Stockton is big on  pet bulls, rotties and other gangster empowering dogs, lol.  How often do you folks on the list with SCI see a pm&r doctor?  I  go twice a year, but my doc is awesome so I feel that I always benefit. haveaniceday, Brien
