Zero Vicodin yesterday!  I was tired but the pain wasn't that bad.  Of course I could barely stand up.  The vicodin has an "upper" effect that masks the fatigue when I take it for the pain.  When I have only the fatigue - I'm experiencing the full strength of it.  I finished breakfast around 10:30...did some work on the computer...laid back down...didnt have lunch until 2ish made myself go to the gym and stop by the grocery store on the way home.  I was done for the day.  Around 7:30 I took the little munchkin for her walk.  I get points for that. I intend to make today another zero vicodin day.  I hate to let chores pile up...but I'm not taking vicodin just to get a bump in energy. I need to get more supplements from the doc.  I balked at the $9 S&H charges but I'm gonna pay them - may as well do it now.
