I hope my theory is wrong, but the increase in pain for many of us may be that time is passing and the adhesions are worse and the pain is worse. I can no longer function as a greeter to new people on the board, I can barely sit here. Will power is non-existant. I can't ignore the agony any longer. The choices are limited. There are none really. I won't be writing the board much because I'll just make you all depressed and that's not what I want. So please forgive me, but I seem to be sinking into a bottomless pit of pain. Love forever, Sally
