Actually, things are improving. I cut the pain med dosage by 1/4 what I was taking just 3 weeks ago, partly out of the fact that much of it is subsiding, and partly out of fear of being caught in a trap of addiction. Unfortunately, that perco-window is still there. If I had known how helpful being in a swimming pool would be, I would have tried that weeks ago.
And yes, I should be wary of what I put out especially at 2AM ;-P

Glad to hear things are improving for you. Yes, one does need to be mindful of the pain killing drugs, addiction can happen very fast.

Swimming is the best exercise for any sort of body aches and pains. Glad you learned that. Ah don't fret about what you write any hour, it all helps for the moment.
