I began my spring garden chores several days ago. That first day was the hardest on my body. My thighs were really sore, so I took a muscle relaxer that night. The worst pain was the burning in my feet and ankles. But since then I've had less neuropathy pain each day. Last night the pain wasn't much worse than usual. And I told my therapist today (via Zoom) that I'm finding myself less depressed each day, as well. I don't know what to expect as the gardening progresses. Will it hurt more? Or the same as it's been? Or will it hurt less? Time will tell. I was supposed to see the neurosurgeon to talk about treating my pain, but it got bumped off the calendar. I hope that I'll be able to see her soon.

Jim
