Abby, are they telling you to ice after you do your excersizes? It's been 8 years since my back surgury, and I still occasionally get the cold pack out after doing my stretches... I was in physical therapy for a year after...
Annie... don't make me come there and plant you in a chair or on the sofa! You have worked hard at helping others all of your life.... now let them help you! We love you way to much to risk you, and if I can bully this big guy of mine around, do you think that a little thing like you would be a challange?
Keeping everyone in my prayers!!!
