DON'T Give up. Get mad! I agree with the walking. There are times I start out in absolute pain. By the time I get back, I'm painfree.
I can't believe your neighbour!! Is he tired of you complaining? Complaining is good. I know I feel better after complaining.

This past week, after my third accupuncture/lazar treatment, I've done more gardening back to back in almost 4 years.

Fool the b...s and get well. BTW, I'm almost 87! I plan to live to at least 103 and beat the record of our Hon. Rotarian member. I've got too many things to do.
