nice to see you here, I know you as a REALLY LONG TIME poster & have always enjoyed your posts. Sorry to hear about your pain & pain management problems! I hope you are still well enough to travel to Jamaica and to enjoy the island. Nothing is worst on the back and neck than being on the computer. I don't yet have back or neck problems, I do have a knee probem though. A couple of years ago I was planning on leaving my house at 5:00 a.m. for an Adirondack Mountain fishing trip, put up barricades for my dog so he couldn't get in the living room in case he had a pee accident, tripped over the barricade in my rush to leave the house on time & fell onto my Italian tile kitchen floor which is like falling onto concrete. My knee has never been the same since then -- my vacation was cancelled & I spent the week elevating my knee with a giant ice pack instead of spending the week on Lake Sacandaga fishing & swimming. A couple of years later my knee still bothers me if I walk around too much. I can't remember what medicines they had me on for the first month but it was a pretty strong pain pill. It really wiped me out so I was rather pleasantly and totally without pain and would lay on my couch watching DVD's of "The Wire" with 1/2 an eye opening.
I leave for a vacation tomorrow early a.m. where "hiking" is the thing. Ha Ha... they are going to be laughing at me because their easiest hike is two miles and I doubt I can make one mile. And I used to regularly swim from Sea Grape to Yacht Club.. getting old gets kind of really really crappy!
