Janet, I am so glad for this...and I know if it
weren't for this medication you may not have been able
to take that beautiful hike with your sister. And I
too am trying to learn to seperate myself from just
the surgeory itself...it's like post-trauma for me or
something...the "why me" syndrome. Every day I feel
sorry for myself less and less. It's an acceptance
issue. Being one year older than me...your activities
are quite an inspiration to me to set my "stamp" on
something in this world. I just wish there weren't so
many darn cactus. Volunteering for trail work out
here is asking for dehydration or heat stroke. LOL
Love, Marianne Have a good work week.
