Title: Just checking in
Post by: BBrock on December 19, 2009, 07:54:27 pm

Hi all,

Hope everyone is doing well.  Happy holidays to the wonderful people here who have been there to answer my many questions and to those who are seeking answers. 

As an update, things are going fairly well.  My balance has gotten better but still not what it once was.  I have now entered the wonderful world of headaches.  I did not want to believe it could be related to my surgery, but after coming in here it all makes sense now.  It started out as a dull pain with some pretty good stabbing pains throughout the day.  After about 2 weeks I finally went to see my GP, who is referring me back to my Dr. Rubenstein. 

As far as the Coast Guard goes I am still waiting to hear what they have decided to do with me.  It is almost certain I will not be retained but hopefully they will be fair with their final decision.

Take care,

Brian

Brian -

thanks for the update; sorry about the headaches.  I'm not one who suffers from them, but many on the Forum do; hopefully some of their posts will help you.

Please let us know what the Coast Guard decides.

Keeping my fingers crossed,

Jan

Hi Brian,
I'm sorry to hear about your headaches post op. (I had Dr. Rubenstein perform the 7/12 nerve transposition.)
Lots of good advice under headaches. What are you taking for them at this point?
I trust the Coast Guard will be fair.
 Hang in there, will be interesting to see what Dr. Rubenstein has to say about the headaches.

Hello Brian ~

Thanks for the update.  I hope that Dr. Rubenstein can help to alleviate the headaches or refer you to someone who can.  I'm sure the Coast Guard will be fair in it's final decision on your future. 

You'll be in the prayers of many and I trust things will work out well for you.

Jim

Sorry to hear about the headaches I have them to along with severe tinnitus now, I hope you can get your headaches under control and hope that the Coast Guard will be fair.
