thanks for your wishes. I've had to advocate for myself. Thank heaven my son found this p,t, she got me out of the horrific stage. Before that I had days where i would curl up all day long and they wouldn;t givr mr meds. I couldn't gt through to my surgeon with all the p.a's and np's in the way. My p,t, is out of pocket, and I haven't been able to work for three years, but it's worth it. This is the kind of decision you have to make.

Going back to my Pilates mentor was also good. I was so afraid at that point. She's been so great/ I have all my equipment from my studio so I practic all the time.

You've got to find your own balance. That;s hard to do but pain is a great motivator.

No we can't give up because we want our lives back. You'll get discouraged but just come back up again. we can all plow through this with support
