still hurtin when i back off the pain killer's.so i guess maybe it's to early to try to adjust them.

slept the better part of the day.changed the bandage.just swollen.alway's is,just bigger.time to ice.hell go outside.frost warning,tonite.

still have the other pain's.still no word on the neurontin.i think this r.s.d. is here to stay.

still gotta make doc appointment's,for next week.think i would be used to this waiting,but my patience is awlful thin ,lately.

i want to thank all of you ,for your kind word's.it's nice to have all of you in my corner,,

had to go find baby doll tonite.barking and chasing deer outa the yard.wish i had some way to let you hear her bark.as feminine as a bark could be.

anyway,glad for being here.....gary

Bet Loribelle would be over at your house bringing a batch of her whole food, savory, nutritious vegetable soup.

Mo & Labrateur could come over and hold hands while Lab tries to console Mo over the harsh realities of wartime.

24, can go with you to your Dr.'s appointments and persuade the doc. to adjust your meds. which give wonderful results!

The rest of us can come over and have play time with baby doll and listen to her do "her" signature bark.

So see, isn't it a shame the best we can offer is words sent via some incomprehensible technology? Either way Gary, you remain in our thoughts and prayers for the best possible recovery. We stay connected nonetheless.

I can sure relate on the knee stuff(and I got a lyme elbow too) I just won't let anybody cut on them.

Hope you'll be up and around soon and start restoring that old Dodge.

gotta cut the rest of the grass today.cut some yesterday,wasn't to bad.if i don't,baby doll will get lost.

thank goodness for ridin' mower's.it's a rough ridin' s.o.b.,but get's the job done.plus those damn tic's are on the move.deer been out in the field at nite.

with this r.s.d.(reflex sympathetic dystrophy) ,i'm thinking about a pain implant.goes next to my spine.(surgery)maybe take care of all what's going on.

i gotta read up on it.then talk it over with my gp..thank God for him.still hopeing the tissue biopsy come's back pos. for lyme.

then there is still a knee replacement in my future.year, year and a half.there goes another year down the toilet.can't see an end to all this.

no matter,just keep sluggin' it out.inpact of my punch ain't what it used to be.that's why i use a BIGGER cane..lol.

thank's again , gary

then i'd bring you a whole bunch of the lower leaves from my comfrey plants for a good ol'fashioned poultice! (knitbone weed) it's flowering right now, that's the perfect time to harvest!

my gut reaction to a pain implant next to the spine is but... that's me.

charlie, you have a lyme elbow? i had mine rebuilt in '97.... didn't know about lyme tho.

IMO Gary, it's early yet. things will hopefully look and feel a whole lot better in a week or two.

[[[HUG]]]!
