Thanks Peanuts and Sky, I am on the anti-depressants and took a pain pill last night. I have some and my appoint at the pain clinic is Jan 8. I need my primary to call me back because if our relationship is not going to work then I need to find someone with whom I feel comfortable. Pain has actually been pretty good, knock on wood, for almost a week. I will keep moving forward. s l o w l y.
