Guest guest Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 Hi , THE GATORS WON!!!!!!!!!!!!! YIPPIE Well I am in lots of pain and the Dr wants to try the traction for third time not as a cure but a band aid so here we go again. Also I saw where my own Dr parred down my prescription of Hydrocodone from 3 refills to one-- I am worried about that; when I went yesterday I asked him for a refill and he gladly gave a refill to me but with only one fill on the bottle when he used to give me 3 refills. I am still wearing neck brace and crippled in mornings. I hate it but getting old ain't for wussies. How is the case going?
