Hear ya sire.
Surgeon said I should be able to play golf with no pain or problems after he removes the cyst growing into my sciatic nerve... Other than that I am pretty much pain free.
Wife is a whole different can of worms. She keeps on going like the faithful help meet she is. She has her own set of real pain caused by degenerative arthritis in her lower back, hips, and fights really low blood sugar every day.
I will do anything and everything I can to make her life better until I die. She is very precious to me....
