Thank you, Lori. Yes, I will be getting my injection tomorrow. I think I'll be fine. When I come home from the med. center, my two youngest grandchildren will be at my house waiting for me - their mother, our daughter, will be helping grandpa paint the inside of our garage. My job will be to entertain them for a couple hours before I leave for one of my favorite outings - Young At Heart meeting with my church group (Pot luck lunch, entertainment, and Bingo), Last meeting until September. That is something that empties my mind of everything that is bothering me, I really enjoy those couple of hours. You have really perked me up. Again, thank you.

@grandmatoni You sound like you're very active so that a big plus in your favor. My feet are like your legs, sort of numb. If I stubb a toe I can feel it, or step on a rock, but quite honestly hot and cold water are hard to figure out via my feet. This all happened over the past year or so. I'm a life long worry wort and this has made it worse (not to mention I have another big health issue since last fall). I'm seeing a therapist, and we looked back last week at a lot of the times I went to worst-case scenario, and that worst case never happened. She said a study was done and generally worst case happened only 5% (or less) of the time, so your chances of it ending up "not too bad" or "just fine" are far greater than worst case. When I start worrying now, I try to focus on the not too bad and make a plan for that and move on. So far that's working! Take care, Susan
