It seem`s like I am adding to my list of things that has happened to me all the time,maybe one of these day`s I`ll get everything written down.I guess the best thing to do is start at the begining.On Jan.27,1992 I had a MVA in the company pick-up that I was driving to a job site at Greeley,Co.when I rolled it.I was thrown from the vehicile landing on my head,bending my back in half the wrong way.When I was transfered from Longmont,Co. to Rose Medical Hospital in Denver,Co. I was told by my Doctor`s that I would never work agian.After 27 day`s they finally released me to go home.I still could not remember what had happened and I was waking up in the night,sweating,disoriented,and scared.I still had broken bones,right clavical,3 rib`s,5 compression fractures,T1,T2,T12,L1,L2,memory problems,migraine headaches.Went to one physical thearpy after another for 6 months then went to Brain Rehab for6 weeks then went to occupational thearpy for another 4 months.Finally went back to work at the same job that I had before.Then in 1995 I was going to another job site on I-70 west of Denver this pick-up pulling a camp trailor jack knifed in front of me,I didn`t hit him but some guy who was driving to fast on icy road hit me in the rear[thats when everyone that I worked with started calling me Crash].In that accdent I hit my head on the back glass and got a case of whip lash.After that wreck I decided that it was time for me to get out of that type of work because there was too much being on the road all the time.Then I went to work for the Postal Service at Parker,Co. and had the misfortune of slipping off my truck and landing wrong and my right knee gave out,making a loud tearing sound.Found out how slow the Postal Service could move then.This happened in Dec,1998.It took them until March of,1999 to approve the first sugery.Another surgery in March,2000 and another inApril,2003.Went back to work thought every thing was going fine then tore my right wrist up,had to have sugery to repair tendons in it in October,2004.Then went backto work and was having pain in my back and couldn`t figure out what was going on.Went to Doc.who had me go to a chiro. then she had me get a whole bunch of test done including MRI`S with and without contrast,and found that I have Syringomeylia in my neck,thorasic and lumbar reagons of my back.Now I had to retire and am at home on social securety.So that about wraps it up I don`t think that I missed anything except for the stomach problems,but that can wait for some other time,I`m going to go to bed.
