OK, here's my shout out. Through your experience at the pain clinic I hope to learn some things that might help Linda (and myself of course).

SUGGESTION THAT MAY BE TOTALLY UNNECESSARY:
I'd just like to make one tiny suggestion, Rachel. When you are down there going through this whole program, if at the end of the day you find that writing about it here on Connect GIVES you energy, then by all means do that. If you find that it TAKES energy from you that you may not have after hard-working days of learning new things (as I can imagine might be the case) then wait until after you are back. I know I don't have to tell you this, it's more for me. I worry about you, just like I worry about all my good friend I have met here who are being dragged down by insidious neuropathy.

Best, Hank
