Help put my wife into a coma! 4/25 MASSIVE UPDATE INCOMING! DVDs,PS3, N64, misc

Just shy of $1300 so far. Nearly all of this is straight donation. Maybe $60ish from selling the games on here. A bunch of CAGers have been very generous, and not even asking for any games. The total (straight donations plus donations for games) from just CAG would be around $160ish. :)

Lots of things are in the works, though. Besides myself still adding more stuff on here, Christy's family is setting up a dance/chinese auction fundraiser, a donut sale for Fat Tuesday, and something else I'm forgetting. We also mailed out letters to pretty much all of our distant family members asking for assistance in any way that they can. We are also in the process of renting a local park for a big chinese auction/flea market/craft fair/etc. So if anyone is around the Harrisburg, PA area on June 4th, you are welcome to come. :)
 
What a horrible situation! I feel really bad for you and your wife. I hope that this treatment works well for her. When will she be receiving the high dose treatment?
 
I should feel good that 1/3 of that CAG cash came from me, but I don't. I just feel disappointed that you have only received that much so far. :cry:
 
Chiwii, we don't know of an exact date for the treatment. My estimation would be around August-ish, but once again, we don't know for sure. There's actually a chance she won't be able to do it, but that possibility is minimal. She has several tests coming up (cardiology, nerve, etc.) that will determine if they will let her do it. There will also be a low dose ketamine infusion done over a 10 day period for 5 hours a day (in Philly) to make sure her body can tolerate ketamine. We were pretty much told though, that if she doesn't have any heart conditions (which as far as we know, she doesn't) she will be good to go. :)

Yeah, certainly I would love to receive more, but honestly, I am happy with the turnout so far. A bunch of random strangers on the internet giving donations to someone they don't know... that's awesome and definitely something to be thankful for.

Thank you again dv8mad, you've been our biggest supporter! :)
 
Interested in the following,

Nyko PS3 remote – remote and receiver plug
Unreal Tournament 3 (PS3) - Complete
Pokemon Gold (GB) - Cart only. No sticker residue.
Grindhouse Quentin Tarantino Action Figure - Brand new, never been opened. QT as "Rapist No. 1". Awesome.

PM me to discuss it.
 
[quote name='randomdud']PM'ed with my interested items. Free Bump. :) Hope your wife gets her operation.[/QUOTE]

PM sent back.

And thanks.. we really hope so, too. Any chance (and it seems to be a good one) at having her... OUR life back is worth any risk and any money.
 
Well hot damn. Last night I was going through some of the stuff I had set aside to sell a while ago. We had moved just 5 months ago, and the stuff got pushed to the side. Well, I dug it out, and am listing some of it on here. However, I came across a brand new, not open, Maniac Mansion on 3.5 and 5.25 disk. I honestly forgot I had it. I listed it on Amazon for $100, figuring it probably wouldn't sell. It sold within 2 hours. I should have listed it higher.... :p

I got it at a Goodwill maybe a year ago for $2
 
Some more to put on my list:
Samurai Showdown (GEN) - Complete
Hang On / Safari Hunt Combo Cartridge (Master System) - Case and cart
The Ninja (Master System) - Cart and a blank master system case, no artwork
Gundam Battle Assualt (PS1) – Disc only
 
Ketamine is an animal tranquilizer... commonly used by vets and party kids. Interested in seeing how they plan to treat your wife's illness with it. Anywho... free bump.

Yeah, it is interesting. The CRPS specialist told us a little about it. It initially started with small children that were severely burned, as well.

It is terrible for this to happen to a loved one...I had similar circumstances with my mother and I am sure of how worried you are, but you are a great man, and husband to be doing this all for her.

I haven't had time due to homework to see if Rogue Galaxy is still up. I tried shooting a PM but I don't think it did go through...so heres a free bump on me :bouncy:

Now back to homework :cry:

Yep, got it. The game is yours. Sent you a PM
 
I feel bad for you and your wife. I hope everything works out! I know I can't even begin to imagine the pain she is going through.

I do have one question:

Is the ESPN Ultimate NASCAR all 4 volumes? And if it is, is the whole set $10 shipped (since it's 4 DVDs)? I've been looking for this for my dad since ESPN played all the series and everything, but never found this great a price on it.

Yeah, it is all four volumes. They are in 4 separate DVD cases (with their own artwork) shrinkwrapped together. And honestly, I was just throwing it in as a single entry in the 4 for $10. You are welcome to pay what you want though. ;)
 
On may 28, 2009, while returning from a x-country motorcycle trip with some friends, I went down about 1 hr NW of Phoenix. I was life watched into Phoenix where I was diagnosed with a complete sever of my L1 vertebrae. From that day on, I was, and always will be a paraplegic.

What does this story have to do with yours? Well, ever since the accident, I now get what is commonly referred to as "phantom limb pain". I get the exact pain you describe in the OP. Sometimes it's in my feet, sometimes my knee, sometimes my calf, etc. The pain is often so intense it brings tears to my eyes, and I'm a 36 y/o guy. People just don't understand how painful it can be, especially considering I'm paralyzed and don't feel physical pain in either of my legs. Luckily, it doesn't happen but every once in a while. However, when it does happen, I usually don't get much rest.

Is she on any medication? I'm currently on 1800 mg of gabapentin daily, which is supposed to help in battling nerve pain. Common pain meds like Tylenol or Ibuprofun don't work, because it isn't a physical pain. Also, to those suggesting marijuana use, don't bother. I'm on a SCI (spinal cord injury) forum in which others with the same issue as myself have tried marijuana and they say it doesn't do much good. They said the pain is still there, and just as intense.

So, with all that said, I will be sending $20 paypal because I know first hand what she is going through. With that $20, I would like to purchase the following.

Grand Theft Auto 3 (PS2) - Complete
GTA San Andreas (PS2) Bradygames (this sucker is big!)
Meet the Robinsons (360) - Complete

Good luck with everything and I pray to God, for your sake and hers, that this procedure will be your answer.

Thank you for your kind words. Yeah, she was on gabapentin some time ago, but is on Lyrica now for the nerve pain. It has helped somewhat, I guess.. it's helped most with the skin sensitivity issue. I can actually touch her now without her yelling/eyes watering
