Elizabeth, I know what you're feeling. My mom and especially my mother
in/out-law don't really believe the severity of this. They don't believe
I'm in as much pain as I claim. I wish they could just understand. Thank
GOD for my loving, caring, & understanding husband. I don't know what I
would do without him! I don't think my bosses really understand either.
I'm up for suggestions though. Denise
