Don't knock it. I've been tempted to ask my primary care doc for
Oxycontin as I'm tired of not being able to sleep. ;-) The MRI revealed
a full tear of one of the rotator cuff tendons. That ain't gonna heal on

least February...

Lighting a candle for you dear! At least what I have is only
debilitating, not life threatening!
