LoL! I understand completely. One the bright side, the surgery (if it's successful) will pay for itself in a couple years with the money you save on meds.
I figured you would. Anyone with chronic pain usually does. Thanks for the info (All - neverdem)
Sidenote: I remember going to hockey games with my littlest angel whose feet stuck straight out from her chair. Everytime she moved, her feet nudged the seat in front of her. One night, the lady who sat in that chair turned around and said, "Would you PLEASE keep your daughter still?" I thought the lady was a real beatch...I understood a lot more when I started having problems. (I would like to think I'd be more pleasant than that lady was, though).
