60 Minutes to do special on Paey

program:

" PRISONER OF PAIN "

" Everyone deals with pain differently: one person's minor ache is

another's agony. So it's not surprising that treatment for chronic pain

remains a medical mystery. The main relief comes from a variety of

drugs, drugs that are often abused by addicts and have their own

international black market. As a result, doctors tend to under-

prescribe pain killers, and patients are also often under suspicion

when they try to alleviate unrelenting pain. But are the authorities

overzealous in going after doctors and patients who are abusing the

pain medication? Morley Safer looks at this complicated issue through

the case of one man now serving 25 years in prison as a result of his

attempt to deal with his chronic pain on this week's 60 Minutes,

Sunday, Jan. 29, 7PM ET/PT on CBS. "

Thanks for letting me know. We of course are in church and this weekend we are

getting away for a couple of days, just my husband and I so I know we will be in

church I just don't know where. So I will have my daughter record it for me to

watch when we get home later that night.

Every once in a while my husband and I just rec-connect and go somewhere close

by just not in Wichita and be by yourself and remember why we married so very

long ago. It is a lot of fun and we hardly ever spend much money just a place

to sleep and our meals and then we usually only eat out once and take our lunch

and continental breakfast but it is a time away. So thanks for the advance

warning. Gwen
