I am dealing with so much pain right now that I didn't understand any of what I just read... no idea what you are talking about, so I will read this again later...
A family friend (who used to be a nurse) comes to stay with me two days a week so my mom can go to work... and she is here, so I am going to go visit with her for a bit and then I will get online later today. I still haven't heard back from my doctor--he usually doesn't call back until after 5 pm when he is done seeing patients... so we'll see. I will reread this later though and look at the links and see if I can make sense of it.
All I know is that according to my doctors, this stems from the surgery... and though my levels are back up to normal, the pain and numbness may continue for awhile or possibly for life. Thanks for your replies, as always.
