Thursday I went to bed at 10:30 and woke up at 7, Friday I ended up taking a vicodin in the late afternoon just because I was sick of feeling achey.  Not because of piercing pain.  Sometimes I just need a break from the constant pain that never goes away. Last night i went to bed around nine and got up at 6:30 a.m.  Still feeling good.  Wrote another chapter in my book.  I'll lay down for a bit and might do some gardening. No bad pain to speak of.
