Hello Jenn, there is always hope as long as we have life, glad to see that you are up and about though slowly but surely and taking care of orchids once more, that is the greatest therapy, I would like to share this with you if you do not already know, check the internet about Epsom salts it is one of the greatest things to help with pain and detoxing the body, just fill your bath with water as hot as you can stand, throw about two cups of Epsom salts into it and let it dissolve and lay in it for about twenty minutes or so it can do wonders and relaxes the nervous system, I had gotten knocked down earlier this year when two metal barriers fell over where they were dismantling them and struck me on my right collar bone I only got soft tissue damage, I am doing physiotherapy because I fell on my left side and could feel my insides shake I was scared, but I have used the bath twice so far and it is working wonders for me along with the therapy, all the pain has gone about 95% now and I will be back to first class in a while. I am in no means a young person but gardening and my orchids etc. keep me active cause I love to do that, so good luck to you. Lovely orchid there too
