In the hospital again!
CB,
Glad you're back, was just getting ready to mail. Sorry to hear about the problems. I can't imagine dealing with the pain you're going through. You're a tough man and you keep on going!
Shingles and herniated disks, now ulcers...Amazing that you can keep going.
Quitting the pain meds? You must have one heck of a pain management strategy!
It's great though that working out loosens everything up and even has an analgesic effect and especially, that you've been able to keep that up...
Keep the Faith, Bro!
Dave
Hey CB,
You've sure been through it, haven't you? The pain and efforts to alleviate must be pretty ferocious to prompt yu to go off pain meds. I know life's a serious of trade-offs, but this one is pretty rough. Is there any chance some non-med form of pain treatment can help, at least a little?
We always miss you when you're away for a bit so it's good to see you back.
Doug
