Hi Jeanie, To answer your question about what i do for pain. It depends on what kinds of pain that i am having and it's intensity and how long it lasts. If it's light to moderate then i just try to relax my mind and try to deal with but severe pain must be dealt with but i try not to use any opiates but try anything else that may help me but some times i have to use some opiates but not for a long time.
Here is a joke for better words to use. I went to the doctor because i hurt my leg every time my fingers touch my leg. No problem says the doctor and he takes out a hammer and hits my hand. I yell out why did you do that, now my hand hurt so badly, my leg doesn't hurt as bad as my hand... Exactly says the doctor. 18's Marty PS Yes I do remember Millie On Fri, Dec 29, 2017 at 9:33 AM, 'Jeanie' via CMLHope < [email protected]> wrote: > Hi Elizabeth and thanks for the uplift.
