Thank you guys, I am improving - in fact I am going to try to do a bit of sewing in a few minutes - while my pain meds are still in full force. I am on Ultram ER and Neruotin for my nerve pain and I have been taking prescription strength Advil for the back pain. For someone who doesn't normally take meds, I feel like a walking pharmacy! I do not like taking medicines!!
Misty, thank you for the suggestion - I am a tummy sleeper and have been sleeping on my side - the only way I can get comfortable - I'll try the pillow between my knees tonight.
Judy, Linzo6 and Mary, thank you very much for your get well thoughts - they really help - I feel better already!!
