Wow! You were in the hospital for a year and a half?! No wonder

you're not a fan of " bed rest. " I hope the muscle relaxors help a

little. I won't feed you the line of BS that I hear from well meaning

non chronic pain people all the time - " I hope your back gets better

soon. " I ususlly just say thanks but have been known to say, " Thank

you for the concern, but it's not going to. It's something I have to

live with the rest of my life. Have a nice day. "

Take care and let us know how you are doing when you are

through " resting. "

Thanks Georgia,

I'm on my second day of Valium and that is working very well, I

haven't slept so well, since I was a baby, ha, ha, ha.

I bought the medications yesterday, but just started the Medrol

today.I think it will take a few days before I feel some real

relief from that stuff.

It'll be the second time I am on it in less than three weeks, both

times for the neck. This time, I'm keeping a neck brace on as

instructed by my physical doctor, every time I try to move my head

to the left or right, I get zapped by an electric shock, I know,

that's not a good sign.

As you may be able to tell, I hate setbacks, ha, ha, ha. Back to

the drawing board, as they say. And, I thought I was doing so well,

I've just have to learn how to slow down, I guess.

I'm in my pajama's all day, and have not ventured outside the

house either, this time I'm following the instructions of my

doctor's, meaning no walking at all, just total " bed " rest.

Well, that part is difficult, since I'm typing on the computer

right now and watching my team in the playoffs.

Take care, and I guess these emails will keep piling up, ha, ha,

ha.

I'm already tired, I guess the one valium will be my savior for the

coming days, huh?

All I did was take another long nap and I woke up to 78 emails in my

box,ha,ha,ha.

Thanks again Georgia, more to come tomorrow, I hope, ha, ha, ha.
