Guest guest Posted August 25, 2004 Report Share Posted August 25, 2004 Hi Cammie, sure sounds like you are not having the best of weeks. I hope your loved one is feeling better. It is always stressfull to see someone we care for in pain. Even more difficult than dealing with our own pain. Here is hoping your tomorrow is better than today...take care Cathy PS I love this site. I am soooo thankfull for all the info I have learned, and the security that you are all only a click away... ceast36532 <no_reply > wrote: Sooo sorry you have had trouble with the pain. I have just spent the better part of this week in the hospital with a beloved one who also had trouble getting help for major pain, post op (but not dental post op, nor jaw stuff) and that can be sooooo draining. Hope you're feeling better now. Please do ice and/or heat, as your surgeon suggests. That can be major help. And wow! If you're thinking to return to work in a week, that's quick! Congratulations.
