Worked great until recently having some troubles. I used to be on the TOS site all the time until my pain went away in 2002. Unfortunately, it has reared it's nasty head and I'm back. My surgeon told me recently to take it easy and go back to the way I was as far as being careful and watching everything I did. I got very complacent with my actions, and, screwed up my shoulder. Trying REALLY hard to get back in the swing of things. Good Luck! Linda

Hi Linda, Glad to meet you. Your story is exactly why I wont have surgery! No surgeon can guarantee me that i will improve or it wont return, so I soldier on every day. Yes I know what you mean with the kids, my hubby wants another (I had all mine before I was 24) but now im 37 there will be at least 13 years between them and I think people will either think he's not the father of all or they will think the baby belongs to my 18 year old (she wouldnt be happy about that!). I dont think i could go back...not with the pain im in and caring for a newborn. Nice to meet you and well talk again. Ozzy
