Thanks. Back problems are like relationships. They need time to heal, and you just can't rush it. :-)
Also, tomorrow is my first IC appt in 2 wks, so I'm going to try to get back on track of working on how to prevent my frustration, temper, health problems, etc. from making me unbearable to live with. If we can't agree to a plan for that, and less rambling through my childhood, then I may need another IC.
