Thanks, I'm impatient when it comes to something like this, not so much the 'ya know I can't do everything anymore,' but more he's upset and scared for me and I just want him to be happy all the time, accept whatever happens and let's just have some FUN! He too has gone through some things, was bullied quite a bit as a kid and handed probably more than his fair share of family drama, and he's just too good a kid. But the folks and I are taking him out to an old fort today (I must being feeling the need for PAIN) and then off to the beach.

Hopefully, once I'm in the water both the pain will subside and the FUN aunty will make her return with a vengeance (if I'm not too exhausted from the heat)
