"All of these couples that we represent are like any other opposite-sex couples in the state of Indiana," he said. "They live as married couples. They raise their kids together. They work and go to church in Indiana. They pay their taxes in the state of Indiana."
Canon said that the U.S. Supreme Court, through United States v. Windsor, ruled last year that it is unconstitutional to treat homosexual partnerships differently than heterosexual couples.
"We are asking the Indiana federal court to recognize what every other court in the country has recognized [since U.S. vs. Windsor]." Canon said. "At this point, I think, it is fairly clear that the people of Indiana can not depend on the legislature to do what is right, to protect their civil liberties and their constitutional rights, so we have turned to the federal courts."
Clients Jo Ann Dale and Carol Uebelhoer, Otisco, were wed in Massachusetts five years ago and have been together for 35 years.
If the lawsuit results in equal rights for all Hoosiers, Dale hopes routine tasks, such as filling out forms, will no longer be such a strange experience.
Dale said she and Uebelhoer fill out a joint form when doing federal taxes, but separate forms for state taxes.
Lane Stumler and Michael Drury, New Albany, the only male couple among the plaintiffs, have been together for nearly 10 years and are seeking the right be wed in Indiana.
Stumler, 66, said he is now motivated to stand up for his rights after seeing gay rights openly discussed each day in the media debating "my worth as a human being or trying to decide (if) the DNA I was born disqualifies me from being equal to everyone else."
Drury said public opinion has evolved to be more accepting of same-sex couples, and he is ready for Indiana leaders to catch up.

Tricks Horses Play on Novice Riders
20th Aug 2014
Horse Training
Camp week is always good for me, because it reminds me of how really difficult and sometimes frustrating learning to ride can be for beginners. Those of us who know how to ride forget the struggles we had starting out. And often, lesson horses dont really help matters.
This year, Im happy to report, only two girls cried. One, because someone said something to embarrass her, and another, because she couldnt make her horse stop. That horse was mine, and her favorite trick is to slowly pull the reins out of her riders hand, then wander to the middle of the arena, where she puts her head down and closes her eyes. As she wanders, the rider usually ineffectually hauls on the reins with her hands up around her ears as we shout, use your legs! Shorten your reins!

Horse Camp Week 2014
18th Aug 2014
Another week of camp has ended and for some reason, it felt much less stressful than previous years. We had a really great group of girls from age 12 to 16, that tried hard to learn all they could. Over the five mornings, the twenty-five girls took a half-hour lesson and spent the rest of the time learning about horses. There were five horses, so the groups riding were kept small.
The first morning always feels a bit chaotic as everyone fits helmets and saddles and gets matched with a horse. Its also the first time many of the girls will have ever touched a horse. They are shown which brushes to use and how to groom. Its funny to see how tentatively they run the brushes over the horses hair. Picking out hooves is a real challenge.

Reasons for Sudden Death in Horses
16th Aug 2014
Del Mar Racetrack has had a run of bad luck this summer. Some are looking to the new track footing as a reason for several of the breakdowns, but it appears two of the unusually high number of deaths so far could have nothing to do with the footing. One horse died before racing began, the other collapsed without cause as it approached the finish line.
Few of us can forget the heart-rending images of Eric Lamazes horse Hickstead, collapsing just as he finished an almost perfect thirteen fence World Cup stadium jumping course in Italy. Lamaze was just circling the ring when the 15-year-old stallion crumpled to the ground. In news headlines, the explanation for deaths like these is heart attack.

Why Horses Cant Barf or Burp
13th Aug 2014
So weve been told that horses cant barf or burp. But why? The first part of the horses digestive system is similar to ours. We have teeth to chew food, we get it into a manageable lump and then we send it down our esophagus tube to the stomach. Behind the area we call the Adams apple are strong muscles that form the Upper Esophageal Sphincter. This is what you activate when you choose to swallow, and its also activated when you breathe, burp or sick up. Theres a similar band of muscles right where your esophagus enters your stomach called the Lower Esophageal (also called cardiac or gastroesophageal) Sphincter. We dont have any control over that valve. It keeps the contents of your stomach from going back up your esophagus - usually.

Three Places to Adopt Wild Horses
9th Aug 2014
The last Wednesday of July marked the 89th Chincoteague Pony Swim. This event was made famous by Marguerite Henrys book Misty of Chincoteague Island." A few days before the swim, the ponies of Assateague Island were rounded up and moved to pens on the south end of the island. The swim itself is carefully timed so that it occurs during slack tide, a brief lapse before the tide creates a current either towards or away from Chincoteague Island. This makes the swim easier for the ponies.

Two Things to Unlearn About Horses
8th Aug 2014
I came across an article on ice harvesting in an old book that was written locally. One of the benefits of living in the cold and snowy north is that normally our lakes freeze over solidly in the winter. Before there were electric-powered refrigerators, the winter months, when there can be a foot or more of ice on the water, was the perfect time to cut large blocks of ice and store them for use in the summer. Teams of horses would pull the huge cut blocks off of the lake on sledges, to an ice house, where it would be packed in sawdust. Then, during the warmer months, a horse and wagon would be used to deliver smaller blocks to households for use in their ice boxes - a refrigerator cooled by the ice.
While the ice on a river or lake can be thick enough to hold up a team and sledge of ice, weak spots can occur, hidden by a blanket of snow. There may be a pressure crack that is only thinly iced over, or a soft spot where there is a bit of a current. And into these unseen areas of thin ice, teams might fall through.

Backyard Breeders Blamed For Spike In Equine Population
6th Aug 2014
After the economic downturn a few years ago, and laws being put in place to prevent meat processing plants from slaughtering horses, the problem of what to do with unwanted horses came to the forefront. Many argued, and rightly so in my opinion, that the problem isn't what to do with unwanted horses, but to prevent the production of horses that would formerly have ended up going for meat. Besides the many horses that end up on trucks headed north or south of the border, many horses are ending up staying long-term in rescues and private farms because, for whatever reason, permanent homes can't be found for them.

Is It Too Hot To Ride
5th Aug 2014
Care and Grooming
I wonder if those of you in the southern hemisphere get tired of hearing we in the north complain about being too hot? After all, it's approaching mid-winter season, while those of us north of the equator are in the midst the hottest weather of the year. This morning, I was at the barn because the farrier came to trim my mare's feet. When I brought her in, I found she was in a sweat just standing in the paddock. Because she's nervous for the farrier, she was soon drenched, despite being out of the sun and in the cool barn.
It's almost easier for horses to stay warm than it is to stay cool. That same internal furnace, fueled by pounds of digesting fibre, that keeps them warm in the cold weather doesn't do the opposite in the hot weather. On hot days, a horse's internal body temperature can rise a few degrees, even if it isn't working. Add even a moderate workload, and a horse can quickly heat up.

Odd Companions For Horses
3rd Aug 2014
Some horses like cattle, some hate them and chase them. However, keeping your horse in a field of cattle might be the next-best thing to living with a herd of horses. There can be problems with keeping a horse with cattle though, and as mentioned some will pester them. One day, a friend of mine called me in a panic, because someone had cut off her horse's tail hair right below the tail bone. She was stumped as to how it had happened, as there were no tire tracks, or footprints in the pasture. I then remembered that cattle will chew horse's tails. Yes, she had been keeping two young steers in the same pasture, and the mystery was solved.

To Breed or Not to Breed
2nd Aug 2014
One of the problems with owning a mare is that there is always a temptation to raise a foal. Recently, my daughter suggested that I send my mare to her, so she could ride her, and have her bred. For a few brief moments, I found myself wondering what sort of stallion should she be bred to. Im not a big fan of color breeds, even though my mare is supposed to be a Paint. Ive never pursued getting her registration papers because it never seemed important to have them. Breeding to a Paint stallion really wouldnt be my first choice anyway. However, a few years ago, I did come across a beautiful warmblood stallion that had such eye-popping color, he could have had three legs, and I might not have noticed. She might have a really nice foal, bred to the right stallion.

Leading Your Horse Through Gates and Doors
29th Jul 2014
It sounds simple right? And you may do it almost every day. But leading your horse through a gate takes a bit more attention than you might first think. Holding a horse while fiddling with a gate latch, having other horses crowd around or having the gate get caught in the wind, among other things, can make this supposedly easy maneuver riskier than it first appears. Oddly enough, people do get hurt doing this every-day, commonplace thing. That doesnt mean you should feel at all apprehensive about going through gates, because when you have a horse and a pasture, chances are its something youll be doing a lot. You just need to know how to handle your horse and that gate.

How Much Does It Cost to Own a Horse
on 27th Jul 2014
Care and Grooming
Every now and again, Ill sit down and figure out just how much it costs to own a horse. Its good to know to budget ahead. If you want a horse, youll want to make sure you can actually afford one, because the purchase price is usually the tip of the iceberg.
If you dont board your horse, youll probably spend money on other necessities like feed. Few of us have pasture to support grazing our horses full time, so hay may be necessary.. Horse owners can expect to pay around $4 a bale and up or $35 for a 4x4 round bale. Hay prices can fluctuate wildly. After bad weather round bales can exceed $75 per bale. A full-grown horse can eat a half a bale per day. A low estimate of hay cost would be about $2 per day. Thats $730 per year. You might get away with cheaper, but a lot of horse owners will pay much more.

How Many Riders Does It Take To Write An Essay
26th Jul 2014
Any of us who have ever been forced to attend some kind of educational institution have most likely encountered, at some point, that horrendous piece of mental strain that we call the essay. Essays may seem easy in theory, but who among us has not sat up all night with an energy drink and a pen-cramped hand, screaming through tears that theres just NO WAY we could write 1800 words on how the world would be different if platypuses wore hats? The point is, essays are an unfortunate part of educational life, and each of us must develop our own unique approach to churn out essay after essay whilst keeping our sanity intact.

Quick Tips To Sell Your Horse Fast - What Not to Do
23rd Jul 2014
Most people are looking for horses that are quiet and easy to handle. The best way to demonstrate the steadiness of any horse, especially a young one, is to put a small child on its back. Have the child go without a helmet, and possibly barefoot, to confirm your faith in the horse. The younger the child the better and dont let any adult photo-bomb the picture.

A New Flame - Chapter Ten - The End of the Beginning
20th Jul 2014
Horse Fiction
Elijah sat down on the couch beside her and took a sip. He felt Jane sigh and set the mug down on the coffee table in front of them. She turned to him and her sleepy blue eyes met his. Her wild blonde curls were a mess, but yet completely perfect at the same time. A few stray hairs framed her sweet, freckled face as she stared up at him.
'Doesnt it always seem like when one thing ends, another begins?' Jane asked, breaking the silence.
'This isnt the end, Jane.' Elijah replied gently, 'I know it feels like youre shutting a door, but its not the end. And its not the beginning of the end. This is just the end of the beginning.'

Horse Fiction
He took the stirrup, slid into the familiar, soft leather of the saddle and bumped the geldings sides with his boots. Aquillo broke into a jog, then a canter, then a gallop. Elijah felt the rush of cold air on his face as Aquillo thundered down the path towards Noahs tree. When he reached the river and slowed to a stop, he noticed the trail change. The trees became bare. They hung over the river like sad, lonely figures in the dark. Gray ashes covered the ground like a blanket of snow. As they crossed the river to the other side, Elijah felt his heart strings pulled. Just hours ago he walked down this trail in awe. The trees stood so tall and proud. They towered over him and seemed to scrape the sky with their magnificent branches. Now all that was left was their weak, broken skeletons.

Cruel Modifications to Correct Horse Tail Positions
18th Jul 2014
Soaring, rollkur and rapping are considered abusive training methods by many people, but there are other practices that dont get as much attention, because the methods give results that are not as obvious, especially to the non-horse person. Many of these methods are used on show horses in pursuit of the ideal performance or look. Heres a look at a few not so obvious practices that are still in use.
Horses tails are very useful for swatting away flies and other biting insects. Horses also use their tails to express their reactions, and the tail being the end of the spine, is used to help the horse balance. Using the tail to help re-balance is often seen on dressage horses, when they give a single swish during transitions, or changing directions. This swish used to be regarded as an indication of resistance, but judges may be less likely to penalize the horse if they see that it is re-balancing itself. There are times when a tail swish is not tolerated at all.

How Horseback Riding Affects My Driving
16th Jul 2014
When you have a horse, it means youve chosen a lifestyle that is a little different than most. Owning a horse can affect how you think, and your behavior in other situations. Ive found that horseback riding has profoundly affected how I drive.
Being a horse owner, it just feels right to drive a truck. Most people who own a horse, aspire to own a truck. I had to convince my husband to buy a truck, as hes not a horse owner. Once we got a truck he got it. If you have a horse, you need a truck. A truck can haul hay, manure, trailers, and get through muddy fields where horse events are held much

A New Flame - Chapter Eight - Uncovering Old Feelings
14th Jul 2014
Horse Fiction
A few moments passed before Jane glanced up at the stairs. She heard the familiar creak of the shower as the water turned on. Her heart pounded a little quicker in her chest. She found herself standing and heading towards the door. Her bare feet hit the weathered wood of the porch as she stepped out into the chilling night. Janes pale blue eyes squinted into the darkness, scanning the yard for that familiar figure of Elijahs. Her feet padded against the steps and into the cold grass.
She looked to the sky. A distant, soft orange glow peeked over the trees. The smell of smoke lingered in the air, making Jane cringe.
Goosebumps shot up her bare arms as the light of the house became farther away and she neared the barn. One square of light on the ground came through the small window of the barn office. The faint sounds of mens voices were muffled out by the thin door between them and her. She stepped into the light and peered into the window, where she observed Gale and her father, deep in conversation.

Is Eventing Really Too Dangerous
13th Jul 2014
Shows and Events
The eventing world has again attracted some unwanted attention following the unfortunate deaths of two top riders on one day. Thirty-year-old Canadian Jordan McDonald died after falling during an event in Somerset. Twenty-five year-old German rider Benjamin Winter was killed during Germany's major four-star event at Luhmuhlen. Both deaths followed rotational falls. A rotational fall is when a horse hits a fence with its forearms or chest, somersaults over, and lands on its back. Winter died of massive head injuries while McDonald suffered a cardiac injury, suggesting that his chest cavity was crushed despite the protection of his safety vest.

A New Flame - Chapter Seven - Playing With Fire
11th Jul 2014
Horse Fiction
The ride back was quiet, but peaceful. She enjoyed Elijahs company, even without speaking his presence was calming and comforting to her. She was glad that he was with her to revisit Noahs tree. A part of her felt that she had found closure with her past and another part of her felt like she was just opening a door to something new. Jane glanced back at Elijah, who rode peacefully alongside her, taking in the surroundings. She couldnt help but smile. Without speaking, Elijah smiled back at her.
When they entered the crescent shaped clearing near the east pasture, Jane felt something strange stirring in the woods. She turned to face Elijah who, by the expression on his face, knew something was wrong too. He lifted his head and glanced back.

Mystery Pony Painting Remains Unsolved
9th Jul 2014
There is no artist's signature on the print. The frame is old and battered, and I rather like it that way. I have it hung in the hall, out of any direct light, so that it doesnt fade any further, but its still visible from where I often sit to write in my room. Im fussy about horse art. I like it to be good. Im sure my definition of good is quite different from everyone else, but I dont like cheesy, or cliche. I like realism. So the mystery pony is one of the few horse pictures hanging in my home. Someone once saw the print and told me that an identical one hung in an office

Montpelier, Vermont – The deadline to apply for a Vermont muzzleloader antlerless deer hunting permit is fast approaching – August 15.
Hunters can apply on the Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department's website (www.vtfishandwildlife.com). A quick-link to the information and application is provided on the home page. Or, they can apply with a paper application available from license agents.

MONTPELIER, Vt. -- Vermont's lottery application deadline for a moose hunting permit has been extended from June 10 to June 17, and the Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department is urging hunters who plan on entering to do so now online.
"Giving folks an additional week to apply makes sense because many may be unaware the deadline is a month earlier this year," said Fish & Wildlife Commissioner Louis Porter. "The application process also was advanced so those who do receive permits have time to do their pre-hunt planning and scouting, as well as to ensure that long-time applicants are able to preserve their bonus points from previous years."

Montpelier, Vermont - Vermont moose hunting permit applications are now available on the Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department's website (www.vtfishandwildlife.com). Printed applications will be available from Vermont license agents in early May.
The 285 regular moose season permits to be issued this year represent a 20 percent decrease from the 355 permits issued last year. Hunters are expected to harvest close to 150 moose during the regular season hunt which starts October 18 and ends October 23.
An additional 50 permits are designated for the October 1-7 archery moose season when hunters are expected to take about 15 moose.

Montpelier, Vermont - Hunters took 14,107 deer during Vermont's four deer hunting seasons in 2013, according to a report on last year's hunting success just released by the Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department.
The number of legal bucks with at least two points on one antler totaled 8,831, up 8 percent from the year before.
"We estimated there would be an increase in the deer population in 2013 due to two consecutive mild winters," said state deer biologist Adam Murkowski. "The number of antlerless deer permits was increased last year by 16 percent in response to these mild winters and we maintained or reduced antlerless deer permits in other regions to promote population growth."

Montpelier, Vermont - A total of 285 regular firearms moose season permits and 50 archery moose season permits will be issued for Vermont's 22nd annual October moose hunt under a proposed regulation approved by the Vermont Fish and Wildlife Board at their February 26 monthly meeting in Montpelier.
The board voted on a proposal presented by the Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department that allocates permits in 16 of the state's 21 Wildlife Management Units. The proposed regulation must be voted on at one more Board meeting in early April.

Montpelier, Vermont - Vermont wild turkey hunters had safe and successful spring and fall hunting seasons in 2013, according to the Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department.
A record 6,968 turkeys were taken by hunters during Vermont's three hunting seasons – the spring youth hunt, the regular May spring season, and the fall turkey hunt.

Vermont's hunters will get one final chance for a deer this year during the muzzleloader deer season and the second part of the archery deer season. The two seasons run at the same time -- December 7-15.
A muzzleloader hunter may take one legal buck anywhere in the state. In addition, a hunter who received a muzzleloader antlerless deer permit may take one antlerless deer in the Wildlife Management Unit (WMU) designated on the permit.
An archery hunter may take a legal buck anywhere in the state, provided they didn't take one in the earlier part of archery season. An archery hunter may take an antlerless deer except in WMU-E in the Northeast Kingdom.

Printed moose applications are available at license agents, but we really encourage you to use the online application. It is more efficient for you and for us."

With the holiday season gearing up, food pantries around Acadiana are preparing to feed the hungry. But one New Iberia charity food house, St. Francis Diner, is facing a budget shortfall and is on the brink of having to cut some of their services.
One hundred and seventy five hungry people file through the lines of the diner every day. But as food costs rise and operating expenses go up, the diner is struggling to keep its budget steady.
"If it continues and we can't get caught up, we may have to cut some days as to how much we feed," said Richard Guidry, the diner's board director.
The cost of operation for this year is tipping at nearly $150,000. But, they've only received around $130,000 (in donations) to date.
Guidry says the economy has played a big part in their higher numbers.
"When kids are on break from school, it increases our numbers big time," said Guidry. "The summer feeding program was taken out of the schools, so they were coming in a lot."
For many people, the meal they get at St. Francis Diner may be the only meal they get. And it's the heartbreaking stories diner director Juanita Lewis hears that remind her why the diner's day-to-day operations are so important.
"I got a phone call around two in the afternoon that some kids needed something to eat because they were eating dog food," said Lewis.
She says many times, she'll pack to-go boxes for people she knows won't eat all weekend. While canned goods are always welcomed, Guidry says at this point they really need one thing.
"We need money," said Guidry. "We need cash."
To donate to St. Francis Diner, you can call their number at 337-369-3362.

Wrongful dismissal, unfair dismissal, or both?
By Charles Crow and Alexander Mellis
It is trite to say that when dismissed summarily for gross misconduct (i.e. without notice) an employee has the option of bringing a claim for unfair dismissal or wrongful dismissal (breach of contract). It is equally trite law that an employment tribunal has two different tests to apply in approaching wrongful and unfair dismissal. For the latter, the tribunal must consider whether the employer's decision to dismiss was within the reasonable range of responses. The warnings to tribunals against substituting its view for that of the employer are well known and oft repeated. However, when approaching a wrongful dismissal claim, the tribunal must do exactly that: deciding for itself whether the employee has in fact done the acts that the employer alleges have put the employee in fundamental breach of the contract. The distinction between these two causes of action raises several strategic issues for both claimant and respondent lawyers.
Not only are the tests for these two types of claims distinct (see by way of example the contrasting results for the two bases of claim in the case of Enable Care and Home Support Ltd v Pearson, UKEAT 0366/09), they give rise to different considerations as to what evidence is relevant and required…

It begins with a narrative contemplating what happens to those who die.
We're told "there really is no death."
The visuals themselves are pretty calm. There's a memorial parade held in the town of Mapleton and we see actor Justin Theroux ("Six Feet Under") jogging through the town of Mapleton.
Other than this image that stands in place for a mirror at the 33-second mark, it seems like a pretty normal town. (Obviously, it's not.)
Suddenly, at 40 seconds in, the trailer takes a creepy turn.
People are diving off buildings …
… a guy is freaking out in a car …
… and it looks like some other person is burning.
It's total chaos.
When you take a look at the series' synopsis from HBO, the preview starts to make some more sense:
"When 2% of the world's population abruptly disappears without explanation, the world struggles to understand just what they're supposed to do about it. Three years later, the new HBO drama series THE LEFTOVERS is the story of the people who didn't make the cut."
The series is based on Tom Perrotta's best-selling novel of the same name about the Rapture, and comes from "Lost" co-creator Damon Lindelof.
"The Leftovers" premieres on HBO June 15.
Check out the trailer:

La Roche aux Sabots
Le Cul de Chien
The western section of Les Trois Pignons generally run parallel to road D16, and are easily accessible from Milly-la-Foret. If you travel to Fontainebleau and stay at "La Musardiere" (a popular climber's campground), these areas are easy to get to. Some areas are much more popular than others; La Roche aux Sabots is the gateway to other popular areas like Le Cul de Chien, so it gets loads of traffic. Still, there's plenty of climbing for everyone.
Getting There
These areas are closer to the town of Milly-la-Foret, Arbonne-la-Foret, and Noisy-sur-Ecole than they are to the town of Fontainebleau. The best thing to do is purchase the IGN map for Fontainebleau and go from there...

Absolutely spot on reply.
I do hope that abandoned will return and let us know how she/ he is doing.
I have a suspicion that she'll be getting a letter from the doctor soon, giving some explanation.
Usually, there is some reason, but the patient should be notified, even if there has Ben some wrongdoing.
Thanks for posting the link. Since we get a few of these sort of discussions now and again, having the link handy will only be beneficial.
Perhaps you could post the link as a Resource, thus making it easier to find once this thread is retired (not readily visible)
I don't come around much anymore, and it's nice to see you.

Multi med therapy, Rods, plates, screws, ad nauseum, Nerve ablation, Physical therapy, Calmare,
The only modality that has been successful for relieving pain is Spinal Cord Stimulation.
Like abbi5's experience,
SCS may have not worked for some, and I don't think that Cweinbl has tried SCS (am I correct, CW?), but it has worked for me.
If someone offered me a million dollars to have my SCS taken away, I'd the,l this hypothetical person no. Keep your million and I'll keep my SCS.
One very-important factor in your decision is that the common standard for SCS is the temporary trial.
Two leads are temporarily thread into the epidural space and are connected to an external controlled. This temporary system is kept in for three-to-ten days.
The objective is that you'll have the opportunity to feel the sensations and know if they will be helpful for you.
Of course, there is always risk of infection with any surgery. SCS implantation is commonly an out-patient procedure.
The sooner you're out of the hospital, the better your chance of resisting infection. You'll also have an IV antibiotic infused during the surgical procedure.
My surgeon also prescribes antibiotics by mouth for ten days post implant.
You'll have to decide what is best for you, but SCS is the best decision I've made regarding pain management.
I've been able to comfortably decrease my opiate requirement by over 50% with SCS.View Thread
This isn't about you, but I find it disconcerting that an MD would advise a patient to look for health care answers on the internet.
I have had Calmare and experienced the same sort of result: I had wonderful pain relief directly after the hour treatment, but it didn't last more than a few hours.
My insurance doesn't cover it, and it cost me $200.00 per day/ $1,000. per week. For me, it wasn't worth it.
Actually, Tessa, if your MD doesn't have information about Calmare, perhaps you can do a google search.
The web sites can probably give you more complete information than I can .
After you read up a bit, and you have questions that haven't been properly answered, feel free to ask here.
My email address is published in the little "My Story", but email addresses that my program doesn't recognize will go straight away to my "junk" file. If I know to be expecting email from the site, I'll check my "junk" file twice a day.
My MD has told me that his RSD/CRPS patients have done well with Calmare. I was his first SCS patient, so there we didn't have any expectations.
If I could realistically afford a thousand dollars a week, and didn't live so far away from the MD office,
I'd have Calmare don't every morning and enjoy the rest of my day. But, it's an hour drive to the MD, so I'd spend a part of my life :
Each month would equal:
40 hr car 20 hr on the Calmare machine $4 K.
I hope that your insurance company will pay, in full or in portion. My MD's prediction is that Calmare may be more- readily covered for the RSD/CRPS diagnosis than SCI.View Thread
Haha, please don't refrain from posting your thoughts and opinions because of me.
I feel bad for that.
You've always something valuable to add.

So are you taking the Suboxone?
It's been a few days now. How are you doing with the withdrawal symptoms?
Have you found a new doctor yet?
Sorry that I'm asking all these questions. I really just want to know how you're feeling, and how we can help you.
Would you be okay with sharing what your pain is from, and how you're doing now?
My pain management MD is a strong believer is SSRIs for neuro pain. I was reluctant to take Lexapro, as I have been fortunate in that I do not suffer from depression, and I was concerned about the potential side effects.
Well, I ended up agreeing to give it a try, and I was surprised at how much it helped the stabbing pain in my feet. I'm also grateful to report that I didn't experience any bad side effects.
I'd imagine that you know that it can take a few weeks to feel the optimum effect.
You're on my mind and in my prayers.
Please write again, ok,

It has been almost a week and she hasn't returned.
My heart breaks for anyone with rsd.
My MD has quite a few RSD patients who are getting Calmare.View Thread
You can get more information, initially, by googling spinal cord stimulator.
Your pain management MD should answer your questions and have a contact number for the company representative or a patient ambassador, which is someone like I am- someone who has had a spinal cord stimulator for a while.
If your pain management MD thinks that you're a good candidate for this treatment, before it is surgically implanted, every patient has a trial, or temporary unit for at-least a few days.for you to actually feel the sensations and know if this treatment is going to be effective for you.
In my region of the USA, the actual surgical implant is done by a neurosurgeon.
Of what is your rheumatologist skeptical?
This is a well researched, well documented, hardly new or uncommon therapy for neuro-genic pain.
There is plenty for you, as a candidate for spinal cord stimulation, to read, and many academic articles for your rheumatologist to peruse.
This isn't a weird or new treatment.
Spinal cord stimulation has been used for many years as a safe an effective treatment for intractable neurogenic pain.
This, along with the trial that allows the patient to actually know ahead of time if the stim will be effective against his particular pain sensations, can make a significant improvement in quality of life.
I, as most, haven't been able to completely eliminate the need for opiate therapy, but spinal cord stim has enabled me to reduce my mess by greater than 50%
The trial isn't terribly uncomfortable and the implant surgery is done, usually, on an outpatient basis. For me, it was a fairly easy surgery and recovery.
So do the google search, read as much as you can, and talk to as many people that you can (who have implanted spinal cord stimulation).
For me, it has been near to a miracle.
I hope that you can get the mind of relief that I have.
My email address is posted at the end of my story. Click on my name or little picture and you can read about me, and send me an email, if you'd like.

Thank you all for the kind words.
It's nearly three weeks and I'm still kind of lost.
I'm also in the midst of moving, which is a positive move, but lots of work, too.
Three of my four children are grown and in their own homes. My daughter lives with me and helps me quite a bit.
For years, I lived between the two homes, my house during most of the week and Thurs-Mon at Kevin's home, which is out in the country and very relaxing.
He was very kind and good about my physical limitations, and I always stayed with him post -op or when I was having a bad pain stretch.
Kevin retired relatively young (58), and was always " there for me"
Our next move is that I'm selling my house, as it's just too big for me to take care of it, and we bought a beautiful two family, plus a studio apt, home in a lovely village a bit north of where I am now.
My daughter will have one apartment, I'll have my handicapped- equips apartment, and my BFF, Debby, is going to live on the studio.
She is a nurses aide and, in exchange for her paying rent, she's offered to help me with some of the things that I require assistance. We are all hoping that this will allow my daughter a bit of time for herself.
It sounds good, and we all are hopeful, but I'm feeling somewhat burdensome to both my daughter and my best friend.
It was different with Kevin, as he is somewhat recluse and is an artist/ oil painter. He liked to stay home and my "down time" was fine with him. And I did what I could for him: cooking, cleaning, laundry, that sort of thing. I seldom felt like a burden to him.
Has anyone out there felt burdensome to those who love us? I do not like the way this feels. I'm hoping that when my sense of loss isn't so overwhelming, that I'll be more myself.
It is tough to lose ones independence, isn't it? For me, that piece is harder with which to cope than the physical pain.
Anyone else experience these feelings?View Thread

Belmont students consider dropping 'offensive' mascot

Students and teachers at Belmont High in the school's hallways on Monday said some students want to drop the word "red" from Red Raiders.
Superintendent Maria Dreyer said the issue has been brought up twice before. About 12 years ago, the school debated changing the name, but settled instead on changing the logo, replacing a Native American face with "more of a contemporary face, a figure of a face."
"It should be a very interesting discussion; these are very thoughtful and active students," Dreyer said.
Dreyer said Belmont High School students, alumni, and teachers are not being purposely disrespectful to Native Americans.
Brett Sottaks, a member of the Belmont High Class of 1988 and the coach of the school's baseball team from 1999-2010, said the founders of the school named the mascot with complete respect to local American Indians.
"I'm proud to be a Red Raider," he said. "I am completely against a name change."
Marc Forgione Sr. is a board member of Friends of Belmont Football, an organization devoted to finding a place for student athletes attending Belmont High School to play football. He agrees with Sottaks.
"Being from Laconia, my opinion is that it's ridiculous to be offended by something that's meant to honor the local heritage, whether it's a 'Red Raider' or a 'Sachem.' We should be focusing on bigger issues, like getting a football team in Belmont," he said.

From the Publisher"Rather than a book of despair, Jenkins argues for the possibility of religious ethics charting new strategies of moral agency by working within the traditions that form constantly shifting communities to meet the challenges of climate change and sustainability. Carefully argued, creative, and well-written, Jenkins challenges assumptions. This is a must read book." — Emilie Townes, Dean and Carpenter Distinguished Professor of Ethics and Society, Vanderbilt Divinity School
"When first I saw the title, The Future of Ethics, I thought it overwrought, if not pretentious. Then I read the book. This is a major, far-reaching, even indispensable, work, for the present as well as the future. Yes, I have my arguments with Jenkins. But if he is as instructed by my exchange as I am by his, both of us will be the wiser about what counts most — achieving a viable way of life for a planet in jeopardy at human hands." — Larry Rasmussen, Reinhold Niebuhr Professor Emeritus of Social Ethics, Union Theological Seminary, New York City
"Willis Jenkins has written a brilliant and challenging book that deserves a wide readership. His penetrating question, 'What shall we sustain and why?' rings true as a humane call for ever-more engaged reflection from ethicists and environmentalists interested in the future of our shared planetary life." — Mary Evelyn Tucker, Forum on Religion and Ecology, Yale University
