About Me

i have a nurse for20 years. Iloved my work with children and preamies. I got hurt lifting a patttient into bed. i had previously been hurt at the hospital, but the rehab person didnt listen when i said there still alot of pain. They sent me back to work with an 80% recovery. they never even did MRI- or the would havve seen the 3 slippped disc. When I lifted the girl about 85 pounds. I heard a pop and sqishing sound my legs went numd, thank god I was against the bed so my patient landed on the bed. My legs were toweak to hold me and I SLID TO THE FLOOR. After theat things got worse the pushed out of the hospital by keeping waiting for a position to open with insurane. I went to the chiropractor and he said my I disc was ruptured/crushed and sitting on the nerve. here I am 5 years later withchronic pain syndrome weeknss in both legs,adn pretty sevre depression... this is me in black and my daughter on a better day...So how are you? hope you get some good days too.
