He was pre- viously married and has major trust issues because of his ex-wife. I can handle most of this, but one thing has become worse over the past two years. much skin and attract other men. But, Annie, I don't wear clothes like that. In fact, I gave away whatever I used to own that he didn't like (spaghetti straps, skirts above the knee, etc.). But he still says I look ''too provocative.'' I wear only pants and high-necked shirts with sleeves, but it's still not appropri- ate enough for him. I offered to let him shop for me, but he refuses. I don't want to keep fighting about something so dumb — and that I know is due to his cheating ex-wife. But I have done as much as possible to show him I love and respect him. What more can I do? — Paying the Price for the Ex Dear Paying: Chris has become obsessed with controlling your appear- ance, and this is unhealthy. Right now, it wouldn't matter what you wore. Since he is getting worse, we strongly urge you to get some professional counseling, preferably together.

Annie's Mailbox by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar ''Debbie,'' is planning a fall wedding. Our father and his wife have been severely addicted to pain pills for most of their 20-year marriage. They have attended birthday parties, barbeques and weddings completely looped. It's not a pretty sight. Because of this (and other reasons), I chose to distance myself and have had little contact with them for 10 years. A few years ago, Debbie did the same because she was tired of being embarrassed, worried, stressed and scared for their health. Debbie doesn't want to invite Dad to the wedding. She didn't even want him to know about it, but he found out from other relatives. She shouldn't have to worry about whether Dad is going to fall down at the ceremony because he is high, or whether he can keep his balance while being intro- duced to her new in-laws. Is this the right decision? — Bride's Sister Dear Sister: Debbie does not have ties so he can function more rationally, and a counselor will help you work on coping skills. If he doesn't get a grip on this, it could escalate into something that threatens not only your marriage, but also your personal well-being. Dear Annie: My younger sister, to invite Dad if doing so will spoil her day and make her miserable, but she should take responsibility for her deci- sion and tell him the reason. However, there is another possible solution. She could enlist the help of a reliable guest (or hire a professional sober compan- ion) to be the ''caregiver'' for Dad and Recent State Prison Commitments Deputies responded to victim's residence in regards to a distur- bance.

An officer conducted his wife, making sure they don't get out of control and create a scene. Other readers have done this and found it quite helpful. ''Mom in Connecticut'' brought back wonderful memories regarding thank- you notes. Dear Annie: The letter from To this day, I send a handwritten thank-you note. I figure the gift-giver spent time and effort to select, purchase and send a gift to me. The least I can do to show my appreciation is send a per- sonal note on real stationery. As my parents used to say, it's what nice peo- ple do. — Born in Connecticut, Now in Arizona I am one of four children, now in our 50s and 60s. When we were younger, our parents had a hard and fast rule: We could play with or wear our gifts on the day we received them, but we could not touch them again until we had written our thank-you notes. Mom provided the notes and colored pencils, so that we could draw pictures until we were old enough to write more. This started when we were so young that we never knew any differ- ent. DEAR DOCTOR K: I'm still recovering from a neck injury, but I'm scheduled to begin rehabilitation exercises with a physical thera- pist next week. How can I start rehab when I'm in so much pain? DEAR READER: body. 3B Passive interventions can help relieve neck pain Your question reminds me of the time I recom- mended rehabilitation exercises to a patient with knee pain. The patient responded: "So you're pre- scribing a little pain to get rid of my pain? Don't get mad at me, Doc, but I don't feel so good that I can afford to feel bad." After a little explanation and persuasion, the patient agreed to the exercise pro- gram. Ultimately, he was glad he had done so.

Recent County Jail Commitments • Dillon Christopher Kentucky weighed politics, to receive surgery for agonizing hip pain pushed Kentucky officials into an uncomfortable debate over security, politics and even the possibility of inviting scorn from Fox News pundits. Emails and memos obtained by The Associated Press show corrections officials struggling for a year to rec- oncile their duty to provide medical care with the political ramifications of spending tens of thousands of dollars for surgery on a man they plan to execute. A key problem would turn out to be security issues that led several hospitals to balk at treating inmate Robert Foley, who still hasn't had the surgery.

Komaroff, M.D. to believe, without active exercises it is hard to relieve pain, restore function and reduce the risk of reinjury in your neck. If you're still in too much pain to perform rehab exercises, your physical therapist can do some "pas- sive pain-relieving interven- tions" to ease your pain and get you ready for active rehab. These techniques are not a substitute for neces- sary exercises. Instead, they make it easier for you to do them. ULTRASOUND. Also called ultrasound diathermy, this treatment converts sound waves into heat that penetrates into deep tissues. The ultra- sound is delivered through a wand rubbed gently over the affected area. — THERAPEUTIC — TRANSCUTA- NEOUS ELECTRICAL NERVE STIMULATION (TENS). In this therapy, small adhesive electrodes are placed on your skin at or near the sites of your pain. The electrodes transmit a very low electrical current to underlying tissues. This current "distracts" your brain from paying attention to the pain messages com- ing from that part of your LOW-LEVEL LASER THERAPY (LLLT). Also called phototherapy or bios- timulation, it is a noninva- sive therapy in which a sin- gle wavelength of light delivers energy to the site of treatment. No one is quite certain how it works. It's possible that wavelengths of light, delivered at certain intensities, reduce inflam- mation and speed up tissue repair. TRACTION. To apply traction, a physical therapist uses hands, weights or spe- cial equipment to create a sustained pull on the neck. Traction may be used to reduce spasms or to relieve pinched nerves. Although traction has been used for many years, its value is still unclear. We have more informa- tion on neck pain in our Special Health Report, "Neck and Shoulder Pain." Learn more about it at AskDoctorK.com, or call 877-649-9457 toll-free to order it. If your neck pain is caused by strained muscles in the neck, here's a remedy you can do at home. Take a small towel or large wash- cloth and soak it in fairly hot water. Wring it out and drape it on the sore area. When it starts to cool off, heat it up again and repeat the process. This can loosen tense muscles.
