11. Hi Sheltie! Nice to hear from you.

I actually did take your advice and took that course once a few years ago. I don't believe I got the relief some others have, but maybe I'll try it again. If I can squeeze it in. I am so overwhelmed with still sorting through the bills from my husband's cancer treatments. I finally finished our 2021 taxes two nights ago because I was trying to itemize our medical expenses. I know they would put our deductions higher than the standard deductions, but I just can't document them all because neither Medicare nor his supplement give a spreadsheet. You have to wade through every single EOB.

I'd applied for an extension in April, electronically, and it got to the IRS 3 minutes late so they denied me the extension. Fortunately, at this point, we're getting a refund. But not as much as I believe we deserve. I'm not sure I can bear to go back in and try to find all of our medical expenses so I can amend.

Sitting at my computer is really painful with this back flare-up...

I'm sorry to hear you're dealing with foot drop! I'm glad it's getting better!

I haven't tried formal physical therapy, but I've been doing the recommended exercises at home. My surgeon claims he expects my diversification to return right after surgery, but other sources say the nerve root has been compressed too long. It's been just about 8 weeks!

Anyway, thanks for the kind words!
