Can't beleive all the crap (life) that's happened in the past 3 yrs but God is turning things around now. Praise him.
Well have had carpal tunnel surgey in both hands. Had trigger release on 3 fingers. Anterial cervical fussion on neck. Back still hurts some but a wonderful chiropractor has really helped me this last year. Lets don't even talk about the knees. I started working in shop during high school. I retired in 04 when I had neck surgery. I still love the flowers but I don't miss the constant deadlines & pressure. No one knows till they have walked a mile in our shoes. Hope things get better for you. PM me some time & we can talk about things. I probably called the shop you worked at.
