Last night I went to my daughter's orchestra concert. What a joyful occasion! I can honestly say pain was the LAST thing on my mind. I go to sleep and wake up every 3 hours with pain radiating up from my FEET. I relax & go back to sleep...by 7 AM I could take no more-slapped pain patches on...

I have to report I was thrilled and amazed when THREE of my friends responded to me by expressing interest. Now I know why they are my friends. One had the book downloaded immediately. Progress report is that 8 years started on January 8 and on January 9, 2015, I was on NO painkillers AT ALL...

I was expecting hundreds of people to join. You know, I'm thrilled that I kicked morphine so fast but I did notice something interesting on my FB feed. People kept calling me brave and strong and I felt like I had done the equivalent of having a limb sawed off while chewing on a silver...

Hello, Last night I playfully demonstrated some ballet positions to my husband. (I worked to become a ballerina but in my day they were not shy about evaluations. I am short and curvy. Not built for ballet) OUCH! A position I hadn't tried in 8 years. Ow ow my leg. I ignored it but...

Thanks, Mike!!!!!!!

Thanks Mike. I'm feeling pretty good today. My chief emotion-- and I can't be the first- is to feel like A TOTAL IDIOT. Thank heavens (well I'm terribly sorry they suffered) but obviously some of the most brilliant minds out there have fallen prey to this. I'm also massively irritated...
