Lots of pain last night.  I used heat and survived it without vicodin.  If no one is around I can deal - I need the vicodin when I have to have a conversation.  I can't pay attention to someone when I'm in pain and I feel drained from the effort - which leaves no coping energy for the pain. so...another day without vicodin!  Not a good day - but I made it. 1/7 no vicodin
