[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

I sincerely hope that you are taking some sort of painkiller and that you get better soon.

Bless you for your comments. It's difficult to speak of my pain, especially when it's chronic, as people do have a limited attention time and after a while it's a bore to continue to hear of someone's pain, so I mostly keep it to myself.

And yes, I do take some things but am very, very careful what I take, how long I take anything specific and many times rotate off and use some naiads such as Motrin, etc. but as they cause Kidney diseases and failure, I don't do them often.

I'm consulting another neurosurgeon late this month for another opinion.

If surgery winds up being my last ditch option, at least I do not rely on my voice, as Rush and Julie Andrews do so if it is impaired, my career won't be ended.

Again, bless you for your comments.
