Hey guys! Thanx for asking and caring. These days have been difficult at times(except visiting my aging parents and seeing my grandkids!), because my nose is up against a brick wall. The drs have determined that I have atypical facial pain which is not helped by surgery. Medical means are the only help and therein lies the problem: adequate pain management without over-sedation. The latter keeps me from driving and often homebound. I haven't given up...no way; still, excepting a total cure, all I want for Christmas is my brain back again. Thanx again and God bless, Al
