And HeyJoe, the suggestions about calcium....I have only actually just begun taking calcium religiously. I'm not sure the kind--it's from lef.org, and I usually just trust them. I'll check. Calcium usually bothers my stomach.

I do think the bone growth stimulator might be helping. I am in less pain, so maybe something good is going on. Not out of pain by a long-shot, but less.

I've rented a laptop, as Billye told me she and her husband spent a lot of time waiting, browsing and emailing on their separate laptops. Sounded like a good idea. It's not costly, just heavy. I'll need something to wheel it around in!
