Victoria,

I'm sorry to hear your pain came back after going thru the surgery.

That is kinda why I am staying away from any PT now or other methods they tell me to try to ease what little pain I deal with now. I feel like...it's not that bad that I can't deal with it and it's much much better than what it was prior to the surgery. So, I just deal with it and manage it.

I'm afraid anything else may make it bad again.

I'm just thankful that I all need now is Soma. A year ago I couldn't even go to bed at night without a sleeping pill. I took those for almost 2 years just to be able to sleep at night.

I'm going to check into that book. That sounds really good.

I guess we all take each day the best we can. I am pretty much convinced that I will never be completely pain free. I just enjoy the good days and on the bad ones.....I chill out. I don't know what it will be like in 20 years from now...........oh, that is a scary thought!

Thanks Victoria

Big Hugs to you Too!

Peggy
