Gloria - What a disappointment that must have been for your husband and you! I am sorry that the outcome wasn't better; hopefully the x-ray will show what is going on and indicate that it can be resolved.

With that said, your attitude is a great one... in the grand scheme of all we've gone through, things could be far worse. We have all been battered and scarred - no one comes out un-scathed. Sounds like you and your husband are a great team, getting through this together.

Regards,


Nancy
