Calling it quits !!

[Scott Howard]

If it's not , it's close. I think it's a double Ouch .

Well it is official and I am all done . Since late Febuary I have done nothing much but go to this doctor here and that one there. I am told that pain pills is my only option and surgery has been ruled out.

I finally went to the doctor in Febuary because the pain was too much . Now I am to the same point with the pain pills that I was in Febuary . I have been on blood pressure pills as well because the pain was running the pressure up. When I was at the doctors Thursday the B.P. was 170 over 110 . They have now given me additional B.P. pills and put me in pain managment along with stronger pain pills.

I am going to add a picture of the x ray of the upper spine. Several discs are together as well as the one in the lower back that caused me to loose the feeling in the foot. I was set for another MRI on Friday but the insurance company didn't approve it in time so it is now set for Wednesday.

I have not been able to sit at the guitar in some time and planning on selling everything.

As it stands now I have the 2 guitars and I would like to make someone a package deal. Tons of parts 1500.00 for both . I will seperate and email me for any questions

Hi Scott,
I do hope the combination of the right bp medication and pain pills work for you so you get some easier days.

Who knows, it might have a therapeutic effect for you to keep going on here.
