Hi there! I feel much better today. Had some soup this morning &

tolerating it ok. Pain is also tolerable. I signed a form at my

doc's office stating I wouldn't drive while on these meds, so I have

several people that I run down the list when I have to go. I thought

about going in Thursday, but decided to wait it out, as I've done

before. Wrong move this time. If I'd gone in Thursday, I probably

wouldn't have been admitted I do know the ER docs name & then the

doc that took care of me wants to help us with trying to help people

in chronic pain. She lectures all the time about it. If I hadn't

ended up going to the hospital, I may not have ever met these 2

women. So, it wasn't all bad.

I really hope you're doing ok with work & all. I tried to keep on

working for a year but just finally swallowed my pride & quit. I'm

not as devoted to the nursing field as you are. It seems to be a

very big part of you that you'll never be seperated from. So I can't

even identify with that aspect of your CP. I don't have that strong

desire to do nursing so it's got to be so much harder for you to be

sick & work. I just want you to be well & happy. I know you've got

to be busy & very tired by the end of the day, but please keep in

touch the best you can. I really value the friendship we have built.

Love you BIG!
