My dear Lynda, Life seems so unfair. I'm sorry you are still in pain, It may mean things are getting better. At least its different and therein lies the hope. Myabe its healing in a bizarre way. I'll think the best for you. We sheared sheep today. We meaning I watched and gave excellent directions to the shearer who had ear plugs in and couldn't hear me. Love and get better soon or we'll have to send you on a vacation to California. (((((((((((((((((((!)))))))))))))))))))Sally
