oh sky...i so relate to your post.....twice in the recent past i have tried to do two activities that used to be fun to do.......i went to a ryan adams concert and a yankee ballgame.......because of my spinal stenosis and degenerative back disease.....both activities turned out to be pure torture and my poor husband ended up having not so good a time because of me......feet contracturing?....could you tell me how this feels for you?..i think i may just be starting to experience it.....isn't it a bummer not to be able to enjoy things we like.....
