Just a Short Rant

I would like to start my post today with a little venting. If you have seen my profile, you already know I am at home recovering from an auto accident on May 28th of this year. So since the accident I have suffered from lower back pain, numbness in the legs, arms, and hands. I have neck and shoulder pain, severe headaches, dizziness, and blurry vision. I had all the tests, the X-rays, CT scans, MRIs, and been referred to 3 separate doctors to find a fix for all of this. I have used ice packs, heating pads, and about 20 different prescriptions. Well finally, on Tuesday I went to yet another doctor who was responsible for starting me on some physical therapy. He informs me that I cannot do the therapy because it could possibly paralyze me. It seems that 2 of the doctors that have written me many prescriptions had missed the bulging and collapsed discs in my neck.


This new doctor has removed all my medication, and given me a brace to wear, and ordered me to stop all activity, and limit sitting and walking to less than 4 hours a day. Next Monday, I am scheduled for my first round of cortisone shots, and I have to go for more CT scans. My venting goes to the docs that missed this the first time around, because I could have been fixed, or close to it by now.




Anyway, enough of that. I have a laptop in my bedroom, so I can still cruise the blogosphere. In my journey today, I found a site that has pictures from a Russian soldier that is fighting in Georgia. The link is http://www.navoine.ru/forum/viewtopic.php?p=551 The site is a message board, and it is all in Russian, but the pictures give a horrifying look at the destruction.


If you decide to check these pictures out, be warned, there are many graphic views.





I did read that Condoleezza Rice is working to end the violence, but Russia has not left the country. As close as we are, as allies, to Georgia and Knowing that a major oil pipeline runs through the country, what role will the U.S. play if the fighting continues ?
