Ouch

Yesterday was not such a good day. Of course, it always works this way...I see the doc and we talk about pain and while I am in some it has been fairly consistent and increasing in very small doses. Not yesterday, though. For some reason my body (particularly my spine) decided to let me know it's unhappy, and in no uncertain terms. My back pain went through the roof, and traveled down my left leg to just add some spice. So all day I was trying to find some combination of drugs that would keep it at bay, and since that's a waiting game, and since I really don't want to OD on oxycodone or Tylenol, I didn't find the solution until almost midnight. That was when I took four 5mg oxycodone (twice what I've ever taken before). And when it took effect it was such a relief it almost brought tears to my eyes. With that confirmation that the little beasties are churning away even more I have had to change some of my 'potential' plans, and it pretty much puts travel on the shelf. I don't want to be out of the country for sure, and while I was rekindling my idea of the "Great Road Trip" driving to the East Coast, I just can't do it. So looks like I'm going to hang around here. The Alfa is coming along swimmingly, so plenty to keep me busy, and plenty of ideas when I get it done. And as if the Big Guy knows I need things to do, my desktop crashed and I'm spending time trying to recover what I can from it. Oh well, I need to pare down to just one computer, so when I'm done I'll just operate from the one laptop.
 Hope you all have a scary Halloween!
