I promised you all I would let you know when I got approved for Medical Marijuana. Judi and I did it. We then went down to Edgewater FL. and got two 500 mg bottles. $70 each. So we were suppose to start with 5 drops (each drop is a mg.) three times a day and slowly work up to 10 drops 3 times a day. Do the math. 16 days for $70. We are both at 5 drops 3 times a day and no relief. I sure hope it starts to ease our pain. Will Keep you posted.

I hope that it will help you to talk with the psychologist, Hazel. I'm alive today in large part because of the therapists I've seen over the past 11 years. I was pretty close to suicide for a few months before a new therapist moved here 6 months ago. After the first session, I told him that he had saved my life. My session yesterday was pretty emotional for me, talking with him about my current spike in depression and suicidal thoughts. Right now, I am able to work through the thoughts by thinking about the effects it would have on my wife's life. She would have to sell our home because of the work involved in keeping up the house and lawns and gardens, and would have to move to town. Moving would be a huge undertaking. So, for now, that helps me stay safe.

Depression is definitely best treated with therapy, and not just with medication.

Jim

Peach, the real downer here is that the closest real hospital with pain management, etc, is almost a hundred miles away. And we have a lot of speeders here, not real tourists, but folks who think they can drive 80 mph along the coast on roads built for 35 mph. Then they pile up on a 15 mph curve, at one of our most beautiful spots, and complain about the bad roads and slow drivers. If they want to drive 80, they should go over to I-5 which runs from Vancouver BC to San Diego.

Sorry, I missed your post.  I&apos;m thinking Silver Sneakers - for 65 plus - may only operate in Colorado.  Marylou8

I&apos;m sorry, I keep missing posts.  My Church is in Castle Rock, CO.  We are very community oriented.  Our Youth will be going into the Community tomorrow to do jobs that are needed.

They are so hard to lose.  I have a wee cat who has Lymphoma and we are treating it.  He&apos;s so precious, only 8 years old.
