I'm so sorry I didn't see this (((Aly))). I've been up-and-down myself and not checking things like New Posts very carefully. You have my total sympathy. Today I spent in bed a lot, tense as a wire, not sleeping, but the thought of doing anything has been completely intimidating. I wish I could help you! Read stupid books. Listen to audio books about Renaissance artists. Take warm baths.
Is there an exercise you can have that isn't painful? What did your shrink say?
P.S. Isn't it grand that smilies are working again?
