Dear Pam,
This sounds like a life changing therapy for you.
Other things could change too. Get ready!

THanks Mari! It's awesome, simply awesome to not have to worry about when the next pain is going to strike. I would love to lose the rest of my pain but I know I have to be realistic...LOL! It's just so good to not have these tazer like zapps from the phantom to worry about anymore.

You must be so excited not to be in so much pain. I got confused when I was watching it because of the mirror, then I realized what was going on. You looked so proud and you should be.

Thanks BJ! I am so proud to be able to be the messenger for other amputees, to learn that there is a way out of pain. It's why I allowed myself to be taped at the weight I am at. To help other people, that is what I love to do and this was awesome! I went to the store earlier and got recognized repeatedly, it was fun!

Thanks for asking Mari, I am real tired, I haven't been using my CPAP machine and last night I wanted to and couldn't. My son had broken the hundred-fifty dollar mask which I won't be able to replace anytime soon. I will have to wait until Mom is done with her current mask and then take hers when her new one comes in. I was so angry last night I had a hard time falling asleep. He has no respect for anything and knows no boundaries, it's downright infuriorating at times.

Our appt this week went as expected, he's put on about ten pounds due to the last increase in medication. I just can't seem to lose weight myself or help Jackie to. I haven't been working out and I feel tired all the time from lack of CPAP use, and now I know there's no sign of that getting better anytime soon. *yawn* Oh well, it's my fault for not keeping the lockbox LOCKED, I figured he'd stopped messing with it but he hadn't. A costly mistake....*Sigh* it's so damn hard to put up with all this chaotic destruction and obsession with turning usable items INTO garbage.
