Hi Joanne...
Your surgeon should be able to put you in touch with one of their prior patients who had halo traction.
If you can't find anyone else, I know of a severely physically disabled person whom I believe was in halo traction after her surgery. I can put you in touch. Email me privately at lindaracine @ earthlink.net (don't inclulde the spaces).
Regards,

Hi everyone, Long time no post. Sorry bout that. Things are just getting worse and worse around here though.
I have in my hand right now another denial letter from SSI, but this time I am determined to fight them tooth & nail! I mean come on, what should I do? Crawl under a rock somewhere and die? Sometimes I wonder if they think we are all just making this all up.
I finally got my file from the hospital though, wow that took forever, like 2 years. They didnt want to give it to me. I sent them like $15.00 and still no file, but I received that a few days ago.
Oh, and the Stryker bed, oh yes, what memories. I cant totaly relate to not bathing for 6 months too LOL I mean did we stink or what.
When I opened the link and saw the picture my heart just sank... Thats how scared I am !
