August 2009, I sustained an injury to my right foot and ankle and after several months of various doctor visits and physical therapy, they finally determined that I have a rare nerve damage injury called Complex Regional Pain Syndrome aka RSDS (Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy Syndrome). RSDS is an injury disease. For more information on RSDS you can go to this website South Texas Innovative Medicine.

If left untreated the pain can spread throughout the entire body. It has already spread to my hip and is starting up the right side of my back. Dr. Rhodes at South Texas Innovative Medicine specializes in treating patients with this syndrome and has a 90% success rate. Treatments however must be done at the clinic in Corpus Christi, TX for 15 consecutive days and is extremely expensive. I needed to raise between $8,000 - $10,000 for the treatments, housing, food, airfare, and transportation while in Texas.

Arcwood Guitar Delay

The ArcWood Guitar will not be ready in time for the auction. Bill, the owner called me tonight and said the lacquer needs to cure for about another week to prevent scratching. I will post photos ASAP. This guitar also comes with a 1 year Service warranty. As the guitar sets it will need a few adjustments for optimal sound. Thanks for your understanding! ArcWood is really sorry the guitar won't be there, but they want it to be perfect for you! There will be the Leopard Wood Guitar on Display so you can see and hear the ArcWood quality.

So Grateful...

I haven't really left the house the house the last few days. I actually went to the mail box after I got home from an errand. I sat in the truck and was going through the mail. I opened a letter from a friend and it was a donation. I immediately was overwhelmed with gratitude and started to cry. I can't express how many times in the last few weeks that I've opened a letter or someone had donated through the donate button and there's been money there to help me get better. I'm so completely humbled and grateful for all the help. I'm not a person that usually asks for help, but under these circumstances I had no other choice. It's truly been an amazing experience for me to see the goodness in family, friends, and complete strangers. So thank you.
