Hug
Hi Dear friend; Thank you so much for the hug and nice wishes. I just got them today- and the meant a lot- the exact day that I needed to hear them. I haven't been much either. Mostly just so busy and overwhelemed with life- and now I'm in one of my huge pain flare ups again. How have you been doing? I hope that you had a great holiday. I sure wish this weather would warm up- it looks like a blizzard out there this morning with all the blowing snow! Take care, Jenna
Hug
Glad you made it through the holidays. I'm praying that this new year will be the year for miracles for all of us, i.e. pain relief! Gentle hugs, C.M.
Hug
Checking back thanks for the hug. I'm just recovering from the holiday. I've had a cold then awful stomach problems on top of my neck/back issues...Just trying to keep the kid occupied and survive. I see you are trying to do the same. Take care and best wishes for a better 2009.

Checking in on you. I see you have had some pretty tough days. I really hope someone can find the root of your jaw pain. Take Care
