At 54 yrs. I have been through alot of physical pain , several back surgeries , a hip replacment a handful of broken bones and cant remember what all else . I just got home sat. from getting a knee replacment and you talk about pain , this is somthing else but my Doctor is the best in the area and folks come from all over the country to have him work on them in a small county hospital so I am sure I will be fine , the swelling is going down and the pain is letting up . But we have to look around ourselves , just as I think I have a few bad weeks coming I find out a good friend is having his belly removed do to cancer . Sure makes my problems seem pretty small !! He wanted to know if there was anything he could do to help me while I was down !
