thanks Sherri

an update:

waiting for my doctor to refer me to the neurologist to do some type of electric test on my hand to check for tendon damage and will hopefully find out more info about the hand

tomorrow is the day when I find out what lies ahead for me, went for a second opinion and I was told it was carpel tunnel but I am getting my test results tomorrow and the final verdict will be in,very nervous about this, either way, its one of those ____ if you do, ____ if you don't situations, check back tomorrow here

results came in Tuesday, my left hand, which is half numb, is indeed carpel tunnel caused by over usage of the PC. My doctor has advised me to cut down my time online so some changes are gonna be happening for me.

I'm still gonna do my show but the length is gonna be shortened to 2 or 3 hours effective next week. Not sure if I am gonna continue the replay or not. So I better follow the doctor's advice and do what needs to be done. Life comes first, everything else is secondary. Thanks to everyone for their prayers and support.

Well, at least now you know what it is you're dealing with, so that's a start. And don't worry, we'll have Dale do another show

I'm glad you found out the issue and of course follow doctor's advice. Praying for you Mark!

thanks guys, I will admit, I am not happy about this but at least I know now and can go from there

I have decided to go back on my regular shows days/times here at BJR and I am NOT gonna
let something like this stop me from what I love doing for over 18 years, though medical is top priority, its not gonna hold me back from doing my show, thanks everyone for the prayers and support:) ::

amen,mark! but,i will be praying you get thru your show with as little pain as possible.i know how hard that can be.although i have the carpal tunnel also;its noting compared to the pain the RSD causes and sittin in my puter chairs often brings on the pain!!! so..we will just gripe and moan and groan thru the chats and encourage eachother and if i can keep you laffin in the chat the better!! let me just say" lay off the diet pepsi and calgon take me away"!!!!

thanks Sherri, I appreciate it:) my doctor is gonna get a special glove to keep the
tension off my hand and thankfully the insurance covers it so it'll be very helpful
to make it better and improve:) the Diet Pepsi will be flowing and the Calgon for me
is after the show to relax haha!! I love metal and I am determined not to let
anything stop me from doing the show that I've been doing since 1992!

agreed michael with the glove...i mean ..mark! lol! i dont blame you a bit! dont give up the fight or the show we love to listen and chat to! i will be praying for you and looking forward many many more moshing nights with Luna!!
