I could just kick someone!


I really don't know who I'd kick, but the term "Practicing Medicine" means just that, Practicing! Kim has always been a little unique {strange} but he has two and even a 3rd {personal 2nd opion} confused. So the fluid they got from his back was Negative, surgery right, that's what I told everyone. But once again they changed their minds. He just looks and acts too darn good, and is still feeling better every day. I'd love for him to walk and stand up straight again someday, but I'll take him a little crocked if that means he can walk and doesn't have to have surgery.


So he came home today and went to a meeting for work tonight. He has the PICC line and will receive 2 antibiotics twice a day for at least 4 weeks. He will get a repeat MRI in one month and hopefully they will see progress in the infected area. His Nuro Dr. gave us his cell # and said if he develops any changes in pain, numbness's, fever. etc. then call him imm. We really liked him.


Melanie's real good friend Bryan works for a Nuro-surgeon and they looked at Kim's MRI{we are going to sue them, HIPPA} and he said he would treat Kim the same way and said to tell us that Kim's Dr. is very well known and was heavily recruited by IHC. He also said he is currently treating someone the same way, with a lot of the same symptoms with no apparent reason for the infection. So if your back HURTS for more than a month beware!!!
One problem already tonight. Kim needed dinner and couldn't find the room-service menu. So sad.
