Gerry, I think you were due for some check ups mid August? How did they go and are you in less pain than a few weeks ago? You have so much to endure and it seems as we more often speak on other threads you have a turtle husbands like me. I hope you are feeling somewhat better after the disastrous patio plant watering episode, where his pain will no doubt recover quickly, yours will remain. DB complains of his elbow recently, I think he has tennis elbow, what can I say, I'm doing more than anyone else in my shoes would be doing, but I've noticed these past few mornings he has begun to thank me for my help so I know he is grateful.
