Default thanks-- still some pain but getting there

Thanks for all the wonderful feedback!! I am still in some pain but a little less uncomfortable. I am kind of frustrated right now because I have to start transitioning off narcotics and docs told me to take tylenol. I don't want to be on painkillers forever, as I know their addictive potential (I'm a social worker), but tylenol never has worked for my pain. Sorry to sound like a crybaby but I had 2 surgeries-- I week ago!!!
As far as worker's comp., I got several lawyers names so I will begin talking to some tomorrow. Thanks for listening to my babbling and for all the wonderful suggestions!!

Hey Sassy,

Don't worry about it. Another name for ISpine could be babble desipherers. I think there's a code book somewhere
