Thank you, Alf, you are my Brit voice of reason here, and you always remind me that my mum is full blooded born and raised Brit herself.
Sephie, probably the pain meds that was keeping my postings "less pained", lol. Just woke awhile ago, got a better night sleep than I expected, but from the waist down, just one big hurt. Today, my wife took my car to work and left her truck, on purpose, because its too hard for me to climb up to the seat. I want to dedicate the day to healing and not doing anything stupid to make myself feel worse.
My son in law is coming over soon, he is a history major, about to graduate. He has to do a f ormal interview with a genuine Viet Nam Vet, so he was lucky that his father in law is one, lol. Very serious about the fall trip, we will have to compare notes on that venture.
Joe, i am a big believe in legal pain management. not even remotely into recreational drug use or therapy, I don't even drink, lol. My drs and I know what works well and not with me, and I am compliant to their dosing recs. I even keep a chart on the table with my meds for the day outlined, with times of course, and I check them off as I take them. That way won't forget and accidently overdose on any.
Joe, I don't feel tough, as much as persistent and stubborn, but if that what it takes to get me through all this, then just call me the "South Carolina Mule", won't hurt my feelings.
