Tracy,
You have no idea how much this helps me, just to know that I'm not alone (holy cliche batman!). I was just telling my husband that I haven't slept well in I-don't-know-how-long. I cry, often, and I hate it.
Oh man, do I know what you mean. I'll save my MRI story for another time.
Do tell me more about your MRI!
I'd really like to hear more about your discectomy, too... I know that this is my next option, but three months? I haven't taken more than two days in a row off since 1998!
(I would quote you, but I'm not very smart, it seems, when it comes to these things. I tried the "quote" button, but, well, it looked... weird.)
