Saved By Zero
25 10 2008I was okay yesterday. Two appointments. Seated most of the time. Very little standing or walking. With 1200 mgs of Neurontin, close to 2000 mgs of Percocet, 20 mgs of Flexeril EQ, and 30 mgs of Mobic, the pain was tolerable.
I went out with a buddy. He has the same medical issues I have, more or less. He has more severe cervical degeneration than me, but I have far worse lumbar degeneration. We ate dinner at a Mexican resturaunt, joked around a bit, and then had coffee at Gollota’s.
I started hurting a bit more during coffee. Maybe it was sitting up for so long. Maybe it was the shifting around in my seat because of the uncomfortableness of my buddy hitting on the wait staff, thinking he was successful, but not seeing the nervous faces of those from whom he received hugs.
I took two more 5/325 Percocets, 10 mgs of Flexeril, and 15 mgs of Restoril at bedtime. I slept, on and off, from around 10 p.m. to 12 p.m. I woke up to extreme pain. The kind of pain that wracks the whole body. The kind of pain that makes one pretty sure there’s no lower one can fall.
