Dr. Reich called me today. He is good at follow up. He keeps hoping I'll say I'm not in pain. Oh, how I wish I could. It's been 19 days. He told me to exercise so I've been working in the garden. That's fun. I've also been up every morning for breakfast and entertained the guests with my show and tell routine about the history of the ranch and how we came to be here and how they used ships in the early days of redwood logging. The lumber would be milled in the canyon and hauled down on skid trails using oxen, then to a little narrow guage train track out to the bluff and to cables and wooden chutes attached to the rocks. If a storm came up, they'd lose it all. Mrs. Howard, the first and only woman in the area in the 1860's gave birth right here on the farm to 7 children, only three living to maturity. There is an old cemetary on the mountain. I'm sorry, I kind of got off on a tangent there.
I'm taking oxycontin for the time being. I don't know if I like it, but it does take away the pain, I also have no ambition, but that seems to have disappeared some time ago. Did anyone catch the Good Morning America Story on oxycontin? Does anyone have their e-mail address? Would you send it to me. I get their audio, but not their visual. We have a satellite dish but no de scrambler. They were completely onesided and didn't talk about people who live in constant pain and how they would be affected by removing it from the market. They had a former dope addict on the show. It's supposed to be for people who are in pain to relieve the pain. If some dumb idiot hurts himself, I'm sorry, I wish him well, but should he dictate drug policy or should people in pain have a say?
I read here on the board that adhesions grow back in seven days. Dr. Reich confirmed this. Then they proceed to get denser and thicker and cause more problems. Dr. Korrel (?) in Germany goes in a few days after surgery and takes down any adhesions growing under the theory that the shock will make them stay away, being "rejected" twice.(I'm being silly, I know) Anyway, I'm putting this nonsense on the whole board to liven it up a bit. P.S. I'm sorry, but I've been looking back through my e-mails and I've gotten really sloppy about editing for grammar, spelling, etc. Sorry. Love, Sally
