Alisyn,
Is Politics Interfering With Your Sex Life?
That is the title of an Op-Ed article I wrote. You can read it on my website by clicking here.

http://www.wheredidmyamericago.com/MainPages/NewsletterArchives/Newsletter_V2-7.htm

As the author of “Where Did My America Go?” and someone who awakens every morning to Fox & Friends, I wanted to share it with you. I am sure you will enjoy it’s humor and message. Please enjoy the others I have written and share them with Gretchen, Brian and Steve. I would like to send you a copy of my book for your reading pleasure.

I have appeared with Neil Cavuto as a guest and would be humbled and honored to appear on Fox & Friends. I know we can heat up the morning a little with my political humor and pundit opinions. The opening quote in my book is by George Burns – “How come all the people who know how to run this country are busy driving taxis and cutting hair.” It says it all.

I host a local talk radio show in West Palm Beach where I interview major political pundits and candidates. This Wed. (4/23) I will be interviewing Alan Keyes. I have some extremely tough questions for him. I would like to share this interview with you if you would like.

Best of Luck,

Michael Solomon

Hi, my name is Kathy and I am 37 years old. I have had back problems since I was 17. I have had 7 back surgeries along with my last one ending up with a staph infection. I have also had a gastric bypass and lost approx. 160 lbs. Had rods and screws in my back, they are removed now, worst thing I ever did. I did so many things before my first surgery, Manipulation under Anestesia, nerve blocks, manipulation, you name it, I did it. It got so bad that my husband would have to carry me out of bed because I couldn’t walk. My children were very young at the time would grew up so fast to take care of me and themselves. To this day I still have back problems, starting another series of nerve injections and just waiting until I can’t walk to have my 8th back surgery. I lived in NJ for 30 years until recently moving to FL. I found an excellent doctor in Chatham, NJ that helped so much and explained to me that when I was born I was amoung 5% of the people in the country with part of my back missing. I have spinal stenois, herniated discs, degenetive discs. I will be like this forever and forever be in pain. My heart goes out to all people that deal with back pain. Mainly when I park in a handicapp spot and people just look at you weird when you get out of the car, like you need to be elderly to be able to have a handicapp plac. Sometimes people should just keep their looks to themselves, you have no idea what is wrong and you don’t know me. Take Care to all and God Bless!!!!

Well it is nice to know that there is other treatments out there other than surgery. I had a lamenectomy on my L-3 and L-4 disks in 2003 with a right foot drop and in 2006 I hurniated my L-5 S-1 with pain in my left leg and electrical shocks in my middle toe on left foot, there is very little weekness but not much. The doctors have said it wasn’t bad enough to do surgery, but i’m in pain every day. I can’t sit or stand for any longer than 2 hours or else I will be in major pain for the rest of the day. I have been on L&I (workers compesation) since October 13, 2006 and they want to retrain me for a new job. I have been to 4 diffrent physical therapist with little or no help. I have had 5 injections with very little help. I doubt that my L&I insurance would pay for such a thing so I was woundering what would be the cost of doing your therapy or is there anyone closer to Washington State that offers the same therapy as you do? Thanks for your time.

Your story on treating back pain by placing needles in the muscles of the lower back is an elementary form of acupuncture. And yes lots of people get great relief from their pain, not just back pain with acupuncture.
Thank you for the story.

Alisyn,
Yes, I too, am the unfortunate recipient of what I would have to consider as a “botched” back surgery. Having installed all new hardware to my spine, my condition is worse now, by far, than prior to the procedure. This sounds like something that I must look into. Do you have any idea if this method of pain relief can be found in other parts of the country?

I can tell you, as a 57 yr. old battered older jock, after a day of working out nothing beats a deep massage. Steve doesn’t look like the “hard body” type, LOL. Only kidding Steve. My wife and I love all four of you (not saying your fat. You know….you, Steve, Brian and Gretchen). Someone with twins needs a massage EVERYDAY!

I won’t get to see your show until 5 this evening. I get to work at around 5:30 AM.

See this is why we need the 6 to 7 segment streamed on the blog like the AtSS.
