Hiya Dennis..  HMMMMM.....  I didn't even think of that!  I had thought that
maybe I moved one of the fragments that are in there, but the Dr. did tell me
that part of the pain was probably being cause by the scar tissue from the
surgery pressing on nerves!!!!!!

Yup...I still have the other, chronic type pain, but I'm happier, for now
anyway.  Sigh...  I wish that you, and everyone else here, didn't have to go
through this awful awful pain thing.  Really gets to you, I know.  Who knows...
 maybe being a klutz like me has its advantanges (grin).  Now all you have to
do it try to knock yourself around a bit and see if it helps the pain (GRIN).

Thanks, Dennis.  And thanks for the response.  It is always so good to "talk"
with the folks here.
