- Compared to so many other folks that have chronic pain problems, I
- still count myself fortunate, since all of this is only 7 months old.
- That may well be too early to even contemplate amputation, yet it

- house, which I was building starting over a year ago needs finishing,
- Sheryl is basically running the family, etc), neither one of us has
- felt the need to talk to anyone but each other. We gain a considerable
- amount of support from this.

- Your message was cut off here. What was the last part of the above
- sentence?
