Herbie, thank you for all the information and encouragement you have given me over the past month. It has been both helpful and much appreciated! ! The one concept I don't think I quite grasp is the "floating". Thanks again and have a great holiday weekend.

Very little pain this weekend but some moderately intense anxiety. Had an epiphany regarding the emotional eating; I was keenly aware that I thought of food when I wanted to distract myself.

Here at day 25, I have my ups and downs with pain. At this very minute, I feel virtually pain free. However, last night was filled with pain in the back and left leg. Unfortunately, I don't feel hopeful that I will be pain free tonight. So since I already have it in my head, I have set...

I'm glad I read this ( and you wrote it!) The ideas of dialoguing and then showing compassion for the body part. My butt/ leg are just trying to help me and here I've been hating on them. Now I will br much more understanding with them. Thanks!

Thanks for this. I like the affirmations to change the negative thoughts. Btw, I think I see a UGA hat!

Thank you. I do trust what you're saying about giving up the focus and worrying about the pain. I am committed to seeing this program through and as a result I will recondition myself. Thanks again

I hadn't thought about the pain showing up somewhere else! Better stick to this program. Thanks for the self compassion advice. I am pretty hard on myself. I look forward to the day when I don't worry about the pain. Thanks again!
