Thank-you Katie, Alison, K-Bear and now Beth! I so appreciate the advise and concern. Katie, great minds think alike: I did go to hardware store and buy extra paint drops, heavy duty ones, so that helped and then the movers brought some runners which helped as well. They failed to put a runner on the stairs heading to lower level and I had just had those stairs and all the lower level carpet steam cleaned professionally on Saturday. So those stairs got filthy and will have to have them re-cleaned asap. Oh, well....at least the hardwood floors and the new carpet upstairs looks great still.

Yes, no worries, I would never cut the fentanyl patch. But I like the idea of maybe adding another on to the old one. I can't put two fresh ones on as I would get in trouble with pain management. The prison drug lords.

I don't know what I am going to do about pain management. I guess the silver lining is that my hip surgery is in two weeks so the pain meds I receive after surgery will work for sure, yeah?! Since I am not taking any oral narcotics. I also, at some point, have to address this failed SI Joint Fusion with my surgeon as my back doc absolutely believes it is NOT fused.

I love you guys so much, I sure hope we get to have our reunion! Big hugs!!
