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!!
