Yay! Part of me feels better!  Other parts, not so good. Hey, some is better than none! Lol! The doc gave me an injection in my hip for the hip pain and it actually worked this time! Yahoo! The knee pain is a different story. Gotta go visit Dr. Benyouseff. He's the local bone doc.  Very good doctor tho. People come from 100's of miles to see him. Anyhow, I can't get in til September 28th. My fault tho cuz the day he could've gotten me in, my hubby and I will be out of town. Drats!Oh well, I have had this particular pain for 4months so I guess a few more weeks won't hurt anything. My doc also said we are going to work on me losing some weight. I am probably 50 pounds overweight (or more ;)  tee-hee!) No self respecting girl can tell folks her weight. Lol! Anyway, he thinks it'll help with my pain. I'm pretty sure it can't hurt. It's crazy, one day you are 25 years old and 130 pounds, next thing you know you are almost 50 and ....let's just say, a whole lot more than 130 pounds! so, for me this has been a good day. I hope all of you are having a painfree as possible day. You are all in my prayers! Have a great labor day weekend! Soft and gentle hugs to all! Cheryl
