went with him to the neurologist yesterday, as two different 'second opinion' doctors suggested severe nerve damage following his crappy shoulder surgery a year and a half ago.

there is one deep nerve that passes through a canal in the shoulder joint, which control two muscles - one to lift the arm, and the other to rotate the shoulder towards the back. both those movements have not been improved by round after round of physical therapy. turns out the function of the nerve that controls that is down - by EIGHTY FREAKING PERCENT. the good news is, the neurologist said it's highly likely to be fixable. and dh is thrilled to know exactly what is causing him so much pain and weakness.

the two different 'second opinion' doctors both noticed two additional tears on his second MRI, as did the radiologist. i venture to say another surgery is imminent anyway, so now they can get in there and fix his nerve too. yay!!!

still no progress on the digestive front, however. ugh.

there are two new noogies furbabies now. a kitteh walked up to kaos and his friends, and decided this was home and has not left yet. he hangs out w/ hubby in the garage - lol!

the other one is yet another baby skwerl. he's currently asleep inside my shirt. i get to nurse him with a syringe every few hours. his little legs are getting stronger, he can scoot better. i'm looking forward to when his eyes open - *squeals*

lurch's inexperience reared it's ugly head. after wrecking his own car (3500.00 damage - it's still not fixed). driving dh's, he ran into our mailbox, then scraped a kid's car in the school parking lot. IN THE SAME EFFING WEEK. he then had the balls to ask to drive my car - UMMMMM, NO.

kaos is, well, just kaos. it's always something w/ that kid. i wont say any further, same $#!t, different day.

ANYHOO - i do hope the drama on STalk has died down. i was really getting tired of that crap!!!!!
