I still am in a lot of pain and some personal problems are causing me stress

and that make it worse. I had a bad fall a while ago in the garage. I lost

my balance and fell on my husband's chain saw. Fortunately, it was the

handle part and not the saw but things like this are happening a lot. I bend

over to pick something up and down I go. I wish this would stop. People see

you staggering about and think that you have been drinking.

I am a recovering alcoholic and even though I have been sober for over 8

years, people that are not very friendly, would love to see me drinking

again.

Take care,

Irene
