Sounds like one of those appts from the cold case files, what with the traffic problems and illness and all. Gee, but glad you received some answers that seem to be effective. I forgot the length of time since your surgery, but with scarring and all, well if you are eight weeks out or so, then it oughta be going along at a pretty good clip. Even so, as I sat last night reading in a particular posture, I could feel the upper incision area and it was what I would call uncomfortable. My implant was last June 30, a while ago. I guess that is the way it is, scar tissue can be sensitive.

If you are weaning from pain meds, has the doc prescribed withdrawal symptom meds for you? Things like Librium and such that help withdrawal go more smoothly. Then after that is all said and done do be on the lookout for depression to possibly set in---- did in my case, and that time was horribly uncomfortable. Meds and counselling were prescribed for that.

Angels keeping watch over you,
