Of course I remember you !! It seems alot of us are all in the same kind of situation, re occurring pain, I just thought I would have more time before I had to think about the pain thing again !. Today I am more positive, not in as much pain, compared with yesterday thats easy!!, and I had a good sleep last night which always helps. I go for my post op appointment on Monday, so I will be asking a few questions. As long as it doesn't come back like yesterday I can live with it!! Take it easy and pain free hugs to you
Love Helen G
