Thank you all for responding, it makes me feel loved, understood and not so alone.
loretta--> Thanks for your info. It's kinda funny (not in a ha ha sort of way) but i've always had problems with my memory, some say (and I can't argue) that it's b/c of my "extracuricular" activities in high school.
Dew58--> Thankyou for your prayers, I know that we can all use and need them right now.
SBOWLING--> The water thing sounds fun. I know I enjoyed it when I did it after my second knee surgery when I was trying to learn how to rebend it, b/c it had started healing straight. Now that was fun! (not really)
daniella--> Thanks, but there is no need for you to be sorry I will be ok. I am just going to have to learn to adjust and adapt (at least this is my attitude thus far). I am on Tramadol, but almost out, so I reserve them for at night when I am at my worst. I live in Texas, but it's El Paso TX so New Mexico is closer than most Texas big cities.
hope4thebest--> Thanks for the advice, yeah, I am trying to go slow. I have been taking more breaks now and use my slowcooker a lot more for dinner now. OMG! "visiting" your face, that sounds almost unbelievable, I hope that is all goes well (well, as well as it can). I'll keep you, and everyone else, in my prayers
Breezy55--> Thankyou for those words...I really like the whole "moving clouds" thing.
