Hi! This is my 3rd attempt at writing an introduction. Lost the other two.
I’m 81, severe pain from corrective spine surgery in 2013. Medication and SCS have not helped so I can have a decent quality of life. RA and Lyme disease damage cause more problems. Love my hubby, kids, dog and garden.
Thanks to all of you for being here.

Hello there @missannie42, 3rd time is a charm! Atta girl. I am sorry about your pain. Quality of life is loosely defined based on circumstances, but grabbing on to those things you love, that bring you joy, is the best medicine. I love my perennial Hosta garden. They bloom and grow like clock work and that brings me joy! What type of gardening do you do? Are you able to moderately work in your garden while managing your health symptoms?
