Things have been going very very well....my pain has finally reduced from the 3-4 right down to a 1-2 at worst I am right down to just a vicodin at night and I am going to eradicate that tonight. I will be returning to work next week but have decided to switch jobs, I need to be nearer to home and being out in a truck for 2 weeks or more at a time just isnt cutting it any more!!

Take care all!

Congrats...I'm happy to hear that the pain is finally getting better. Hope you find the right job that meets all the criteria.
I hope that you stick around and continue to remain an active member of the forum. You are a "poster child" for the importance of early detection, the topic that I discuss almost daily with someone in the dental field.
