============================
Good morning Ruth!

-> 
-> -> Good to talk to you "for real" instead of thru the echo.
-> 
->  hn> Did I sound right?? (grin)
-> 
-> Actually, just about what I expected. (G)
-> 
Whenever I hear my voice recorded back to
me I always think "who's that?" for a moment.
To me it doesn't sound like "me"!

-> ->  hn> gets her injection in a bit over an hour from now.
-> ->  hn> Then we'll get some lunch!
-> 
-> -> And hopefully all has gone well, including the injection.
-> 
->  hn> Still too early to tell, some relief, but some
->  hn> pain that she didn't experience from the first
->  hn> injection as well.
-> 
-> OW!  Maybe they used a bigger needle this time? (G) Hope that by now
-> things are improving.
->
Improving, more slowly this time as she's
only getting one physical therapy, and 
one massage therapy a week. Workman's
comp company is balking at the two massage's
a week that worked so well after the first
injection.
 
-> ->  hn> the pain issues is the most likely outcome. Med's won't
-> ->  hn> be the answer for me so mostly it will be how
-> ->  hn> high my pain management skills can take me.
-> 
-> -> OK, sounds like a plan you're comfortable with. I'd be hesitant on knee
-> -> replacement too, tho at one time I was thinking it would have been 
nice.
-> -> The first few years after I did my knee in it gave me a lot of trouble
-> -> but knee replacement wasn't an option then.  It's sort of stabilised now
-> -> for the most part; either that or other parts of the body hurt more and
-> -> I don't notice the knee as much.
-> 
->  hn> Yeah, that part happens to all of us
->  hn> at some point I suppose!
-> 
-> Every so often I get the message that it's still not "normal"; most
-> times that clears up within the day.  Did have one spell of about a week
-> one time in HI when it was really giving me lots of pain.  Steve was TDY
-> at the time; maybe I was on my feet more than usual?  Don't know but it
-> cleared up as mysteriously as it started.
->
Mine seems to be fairly consistent and ongoing.
Got the bone scan, and now I'm waiting for the
doctor's office to call me in for another consult.
 
-> ->  hn> time and at home I simply don't use it.
-> ->  hn> If I'm "out" and will be doing much walking
-> ->  hn> I have one handy.
-> 
-> -> Good idea. Just don't try to eat a 2 handed sandwich while using the
-> -> cane.  It just doesn't work. (G)
-> 
->  hn> Yep, I like to have hands free for those
->  hn> sorts of things!
-> 
-> So do I so I plan on sitting down while eating it.  Makes a lot more
-> sense and helps to keep my clothes a bit cleaner. (G)
-> 
it helps!

-> ->  hn> Have fun at the picnic!
-> 
-> -> We did!
-> 
As did everyone else! 
chat with you soon!
