Hi guys,
I just wanted to answer Wy's statement of "Too bad they can't find out exactly what happens in some cases after sedation..."

There is a theory that pain itself can keep the idea of pain in a constant state of being regenerated in the mind, thus keeping the pain in place. However, a sedation which ceases this cycle can actually "turn off" the pain idea in the mind thus breaking the cycle altogether.

I tried to say that without using the actual nomenclature and it didn't translate as well, but I hope you got the idea.

The vitamin therapy I suggested to Al actually helps to keep those things (mental masses) which initiate negative responses such as pain from again impinging upon a person.

My continued prayers go out to Helen and Al.
