Hi ya Mary!! Thanks for the reply!!Ya dinner would have been much better! LOL too funny, Mary! I did use those epsom salts and didn't want to get outta the bath! The swelling is so much better! I just don't know why I am gettig this all of a sudden(The swelling) I do like the idea of soothing music.. great idea. and maybe some vanilla candles too! Thank you again, Mary.. your a special friend! ~Love, Desi

Joan, your so right! those epsome salts do wonders for the swelling! wonder why?? hmm.. something in them really is "Great"! My hubby is here to help me in and out of the tub if I scream for him loud enough! LOL Yes, Joan.. your right! This beast is hard to explain, and I know we should educate people on it. But, I hate the look on their faces when I do tell them "My story" like they feel so sorry for me. I don't want people to feel bad. That is just the way I am though! I sure want my husband to feel sorry for me though!! HA! HA! HA! (A little dry humor there!!) I enjoy reading your up beat words also Joan. I remember when I first came on, you were great at helping me a lot, and you still do. That takes a special person, and for that.. I THANK YOU!! ~Love, Desi
