    In Arthritis Pain and Waiting for More Joint Surgery

    My life has been pretty much like the title of the play "Stop the World -- I Want To Get Off!"  In spite of my detailed records and preparations, my appointment with my accountant was over 7 hours long -- a marathon!  Before I had time to recover, I made the mistake of checking my email in my office to discover that, in restructuring,... Read moreChevron
