Thank you, Allen! Prayers are keeping us going!

I told AJ about your experience with withdrawal. I think it carried a
lot more weight than my words, because you understand RSD. She's
pretty angry today - the doctor just told us she'll be in the hospital
until 3/27, at least, and she was expecting to be home by this
weekend. She says she can't do it, but we're going to help her stick
it out.

I think she came to put her faith in oxycontin, and it's very scary to let
it go, though even at that high dose, she was still in too much pain to
sleep, walk, function. The doctor told her today that 95% of his patients
get better with the pump, and they're going to spend the next week and
a half getting the right meds in it. So I hope he's right, and that this
does work, at least to get her pain back to where it was, but without
the brain-fuzz oxy. They gave her a little local anesthetic for her back,
and I think it helped the back pain a little. The rash she's had is also
fading. She's miserable, but we're praying for her.
