Friday I was a little soldier.  I bore the pain al day long...until we were at the S.S. party that evening.  First introduction for Randy, and I risked not making sense if I didn't take a vicodin.  That much pain makes me "not present" and a little crazy. 9/25 two vicodin (after 5 p.m.)9/26 one imitrex and two and half vicodin9/27 one and half vicodin Yesterday I was in terrible pain in the morning and took one and half.  I worked in the garden so I was distracted later and then we didn't go see the concert I wanted to see so I just went to bed.  Pain problems solved. Saturday...I think holding off until 4 without pain meds all day long ended up giving a migraine.  So...what do I do about that? Monday so far -I lasted until 12:30 - took one.
