Kelly, I'm ready for a new body too! I'm thrilled that you're able to work through the pain. Bless you. I know it's tough and stress makes it worse. I hope the pain management doctor can help. With all I have to do with the house etc. I decided that the 4 walls will be here longer than I will, so I also rest when my body says to. Being in constant pain sucks. But like you, brave friend, I'm going to beat it too, dam it, if it's the last thing I do.
Lots of good wishes and Hugs always!
