I have followed your posts all along from when you were working, until now.
I know it is a hardship for you not to be working, but take as much healing time as you possbily can.
I still work full time ..leave at 8:30 am and getting home about 7:00 by the time I leave work and with commute time....
I know it is taking it's toll on my healing ability and the required walking around the office flares the RSD daily.. But I can't afford to go on disability..
Take good care, and pace yourself....
The blocks aren't that bad at all...I hope they really make a difference for you!
How great that you'll be seeing Dr. S next June...time will pass quickly..
keep us posted on the possibility of K infusions.

Thank you very mcuh for taking the time to write to me.
I am so sorry that your day doesn't end until 7 pm. That's a REAL grind for anyone, let alone someone who is not feeling well. You need to be extra careful to set aside some time during the day to just chill and take it easy.
I will keep my eye out for your posts, and wish you the very best. Please take care of yourself. Do you watch your diet and take vitamins?
XOXOX Sandy
