Well I go to new pain management therapy next week. So keep up the prayers. Right now I just want some relief so I could actually go to sleep and sleep 4 hours in a row. I am not holding my breath but with all that I have learned on here that new Dr. better watch out because I am not up to no crap this time around....
I have one question, I have been passing out allot lately. Sometimes two to three times a day. Is anyone else having these problems.
Thanks for all. I love you all and know that one day we will all beable to get the surgery.
