Thanks all! And I love squirrels too /default_smile.png BOSTONDACE, from one Bostonian to another, thanks for the laugh!
EDIT - I wanted to add how/why I'm here. I've had leg/knee issues going back nearly 5 years now. A surgery that didn't go as planned landed me in a wheelchair for a few months and PT 6 hours a week. After 7 months I was finally able to walk without a cane, crutches, walker or wheelchair, but I'd been on pain meds for a long time at that point. Never really thought about it until I had to, and at that point I had a 'problem'. I kept it going on my own, taking 10-12 R ox is daily - more if I could. I finally was able to ween off after a few years. Total hell! Then, this past June, I started having problems with my knee again. Walking was next to impossible. Turns out, I have a disc issue that's crushing the nerves and other parts of my wiring, causing some of the muscles in my leg to not function. The result is severly bruised bones, pain from my hip to my knee, pain in my ankle from walking incorrectly with a peg leg and turned in foot, and pain in my lower back/tailbone. The Dr this time will only give me 2 5mgs per day. I have no idea what that's supposed to do for me, but it's doing nothing at all. The pain gets so bad that I don't drink anything after 3 pm because I don't want to have to get up and use the bathroom. Despite this, the Dr is not helping and is referring me to another Dr at a pain mgmt location. Until then, I'm basically on my own.
So that's how/why I'm here seeking information. The connections I had in the past are either out of business or next to impossible to deal with. Never on time, on power trips, etc. The usual games that are played that I'm sure many here are familiar with. I'm searching for a source that is dependable and isn't playing games, and I've already found 2 in my readings here at DBG. Thanks SOOOO much to everyone here for sharing, researching, etc. It is more appreciated than you know.
Thanks, DBG!!
