Guest guest Posted April 12, 2006 Report Share Posted April 12, 2006 Ken, I'm so glad you are wise enough to reach out when you are in need. My thoughts and prayers are with you. I think it's great that you decided to have a day of play, and Im so sorry it ended up this way. Keep your chin up, as well as your wonderful spirit. Hopefully everything else will follow. Keep us posted! God Bless You Ken. --- MrsCoylie <dkcoylie@...> wrote: > Hi a, I was given Ultracet for pain but it keeps > me awake at > night and spacey during the day.
