I'm back.

Spent two days lying down. Vicodin isn't "not enough" any more; it's "not nearly enough."

The pain comes and goes in waves, and (with Vicodin) in between peaks, I can read. I read five books. Two Robin Cooks, two Tess Gerritsen, one "filovirus gets loose". Reading medical thrillers when in pain is... unique. Still, I enjoyed them, as every one was a book I had never read before. What a treat! I do so enjoy books. :-)

Today, called Helena Women's Health Center again. I have an appointment for, well, um, some time after my next period. *sigh*

Now I'm caught up on LJ. Cool. Caught up on spam deletion; only ran out of disk quota twice. Will have to disable that account before leaving for a week.

Joe, sorry I never responded to your mail about lunch. You can guess why I didn't go.

Aargh! That sounds truly unpleasant. Is this pain from your cycle, or an aftereffect of the surgery?

Glad to hear you will be talking to Helena, even if it's taking too long. :^( I sincerely hope they have some answers, or at least some HELP for you.

I thought of you as I travelled on the train last weekend. My neck pain was so bad I wanted to stick an ice pick through my ear. I wondered how you've survived with all you've described!

*hugs*

*more hugs*

About the lunch--*hugs*, but no apologies necessary, m'kay?

I can't remember if Vicodin has acetominaphen in it or not. If it does, don't take more than the bottle says, because you can get liver damage.
