If the inflammation causing the pain isn’t an infection, that means it could come back. I will live in fear of that event for some time,  like the victim of a violent crime.

From, of all places, the Associated Press : Stimulus jobs overstated by thousands By Brett J. Blackledge And Matt Apuzzo, Associated Press Writers WASHINGTON – A Colorado company said it created 4,231 jobs with the help of President Barack Obama’s economic recovery plan.
