The Pain Game: The Diary of Penny PuppetLegs

The fractured state of pain care in America. The politics and the Law in palliative care. Resources, agencies, links and practical tools for chronic pain patients & the disabled. To review products created to improve the life of the disabled. The hardships faced by caregivers, family and loved ones. The U.S. Pain Foundation, the first group created, developed and run by chronic pain patients, both suffering and healed, will be the loudest voice on this blog.

Eyes - Free Project by Google Android

Check out "SoundBack"

Six related programs are available that interact with one another.
Other programs exist for use on the phone.
For the past 2 years I have been trying and comparing TTS and speech recognition programs for various devices and, soon, platforms. As soon as I am able, I will expand on this and list the best programs and the rest.
I am limiting myself to programs that are free or nearly free.
For now the link above will get you started.
My health is well. I am working out In the gym, and writing my posts daily. Now I'll be using speech recognition to enter the posts. You will see first hand what works, IMHO. This Post was produced by Android app blogger along with ( When I get online, and see that this works, I will reveal the program I used.
I hope to get back in the saddle again very soon.

Purpose of the Pain Game and Puppet Legs' Story

For the past twenty years or so, the rise and demise of pain specialists and pain clinics has been fraught with GAMES. One of the goals of this blog is to reveal some of the attitudes, beliefs, and actions of the medical establishment.
For the uninitiated, those who are suffering with pain most of the time can hardly think straight. I wish pain was not a fact of life, but the reality is the majority of us will experience pain at one time or another.
I think Penny is ready for retirement. From time to time, I know she will turn to her diary, and since I respect her opinion, I will allow her to post whenever she likes.
So while the mission of this blog has somewhat changed, the purpose is to inform, reach out to those who can help us, the chronic pain patient community, and more importantly, reach out to people who experience pain, or have recently received a diagnosis. To that end, I will begin doing new reviews of products that can be of help to us all. The fact is that once pain is not treated aggressively, you become fully disabled like Penny and me.
In addition, I will post Links to Organizations, resources, and medical sites to get what you need and to what you are entitled. You paid into the system; now it's time for the system to live up to its obligations.
Any specific questions? Put them in a comment, and I will answer ASAP.

JOIN US @ UNITED STATES PAIN FOUNDATION

If there is one thing I can't stress enough....

No matter how much pain you are in, don't be impulsive and "check out." There is always so much more to live with. Down below, you will find links for help. If you feel like ending it, I urge you to go to the American Pain Foundation's web site. You will find one page that will reset the way you are thinking.

Besides that, the APF has lists of doctors and associations that can help you. I'm here to direct you to the right places to get help, and so you realize YOU ARE NOT ALONE! Write me a post, describe your feelings, and I'll respond as quickly as possible. Sometimes, I'm too sick to check my mail. Your next step is to go the APF website. (to be cont.)

Every Day is a Holiday: Just pick your own

My Blog List is Incomplete...

And if I'm doing things right, it will always be complete. I have so many blogs that I'm following, through different channels, that it will take time to gather them all together.

At the same time, I've added blogs or websites that have a more cultural edge, such as Medflix, that discusses different movies having to do with the medical field, or photography blogs that may help you focus on something other than your pain. Remember, there are videos on other pages that will help you meditate, chant, stretch with yoga, or be lulled by guided imagery.

I said this list will be incomplete, b/c I hope to add and find great stuff to add. The same can be said for the videos. I'm open to all requests and suggestions.
