this morning I slept until 10 - and might've slept longer but the phone rang - my docs office.  I did some work - went to get my clothes (only one item of five was what I ordered), to the gym, home, I'm eating lunch and will walk lucy soon.  I intend to write my 1000 words after that. I fly out tomorrow and I'm resting up as much as possible. Yesterday I took a vicodin during church.  I knew I wouldn't make lunch without it.  I took two and a half in the evening starting at 4 - to make it to the concert.  I tried to not take another at 8, made it a while but then realized I wasn't enjoying great live music because I was miserable.  At first I was just exhausted and I try not to take a vicodin just because I'm tired.  I save it for pain.  but when I started to hurt as well... Oct 26 2 and half. So far today I'm okay.  I feel tired.  I laid my head on my steering wheel for five minutes before I could go into the gym.  Once I start exercising I feel better.  I get big breaths of oxygen.  It feels good.  the only thing really bugging me now is the feeling of swelling in my ears and throat.
