29. A plan is a good thing!

Oct 2017

I'm a very cooperative and obedient patient. Frankly I don't need much in the way of pain meds - I have a very high resistance to pain. When my knees were bone on bone for years I found other medications to reduce the inflammation and didn't use the opiods the doctors gave me.

The weeds have gotten away from us so as soon as possible after the second operation I will be out in the garden pulling those!

Thanks!
