I did okay.  Randy and I spent the morning in bed and love and comfort makes the pain hide it's head in shame...to an extent.  It takes precedence again when the chemicals readjust and I wondered aloud if I should drink a coke and see it that would be enough to go to the grocery store or if I should go ahead and take a vicodin and have a normal persons day.  He said, "Live your life."  So I took it and went to the store, managed a client, took care of business, did some work on agent search and fixed dinner.  Ate real food.  How can that be abusing drugs? I did fall in a head at 8:30 and sleep until 7:30 - but I had a full day. 7/21 two and half vicodin.
