Hi Dmom: I am sorry to hear you are dealing with such pain and also have an upcoming surgery. I truly wish you the best possible outcome and you have no pain after.... at the very least a much much reduced pain level.
As for me... not much they can do for my pain levels with medicine. We have tried every possible pain killer out there... I believe. I've had major adverse allergic reactions to every one that we've tried. They have my charts marked in the brightest of colors... NO OPIATES or NARCOTIC PAIN KILLERS.
I do see a Chiropractor/Acupunturist as often as I need to.... These drop my pain levels sometimes to 5-6 level but this doesn't last more than a couple of hours when it drops that far. Mostly it drops to about an 8 and last for about 4 to 6 hours. I'm thankful for any pain relief that I do get.
Hi BROKENFRIEND: I wish I had words to help... I just want you to know that I do read your posts and I care... and send you gentle hugs. 
Hi MARI: I do sometimes sit on the deck when the sun isn't blazing down. I was able to write about a page and a half in my journal today. I also took a little drive to listen to the radio and I looked at the beautiful storm clouds that were passing high overhead. I wished I had a camera they were truly amazing.
Hi BIZI: I do enjoy a warm bath... but I have to remember to check the temp of the water before stepping in... I have burnt myself numerous times as I am no longer able to say if something is too hot... I just feel pain... Hot feels the same as Ice to me...painful.
I hope everyone's weekend is going well... mine is going pretty ok.
Abbie
