Tried to go without pain meds yesterday...made it until two.  But at noon I cried over ended relationship issues and I guess that did it.  I took two percocet at two but I suffered the entire afternoon anyway.  Percocet really does not relieve my pain.  It does seem to prevent it though.  The decrease from 12 to nine hours of sleep... Anyway, I took two this morning.  I am developing my own version of yoga - somethign I can do.  Stretching, breathing, release.  Calming the mind. 7/8 two percocet.
