Stop going to parties ?

I hope that you know, that was just in jest.....you should be able to have a life without feeling miserable !

I'm coming up on a similar issue. My mom, sister, and I are heading to Foxwoods Casino tomorrow for an overnight. I love to gamble. I love to spend time with mom and sis......yet I can predict in advance that I will have to double or triple up on my pain meds and I will still be in horrible pain. The walking, using my arms to press slots or play cards, sitting in chairs that don't offer full neck and arm support will all take their inevitable toll.

It's awful to have to pay the pain price for trying to go out and have a little fun.....even though with arranging your chairs and pillows, you still didn't get the true party experience

Maybe a nice bath with epsom salts ?
