I'm working on that. In my case, the doggies have been a godsend. On bad days they both curl up with me on the couch or in bed

I'm almost off the pain meds except for the occasional headache (especially when I'm at work--those suck). I needed one yesterday, but hadn't needed one in a few days. I see that as a good thing. Thankfully the vertigo only lasted a few weeks, and seems to be gone. If I can just get the fatigue under control and my vision back to where it was since it appears my prescription has changed, I think I'll be on my way. A sleepy, fuzzy world is no fun. The vision problems have also taken away my usual coping mechanism: reading. A friend suggested I pull out my painting materials and give that a go. I think I will.

Marni - glad to hear you're better. Thanks for the note.
