Thanks Phylly. I have been planted on my couch, it seems like, for the better part of this week. I get up to wash clothes, empty dishwasher, etc., and the weight bearing just drives me back to plop down. I hate my life right now. I am so sick of chronic pain. It just beats me down. And I am normally such an upbeat person, so that definitely makes me feel like I'm "losing." Perhaps this is just a day that the bear is eating me.
