Busy frantic stressed not-sleeping stressed AH DONE WITH ONE THING maybe-I-can-sleep...

...and the abdominal pain chose this evening to attack, really attack. It hasn't been this bad (nor has it come on this fast) for ages. I feel like I'm being eaten alive, from the inside, by something with very sharp teeth. Probably a Langolier.

Oddly enough (given that this is direct nerve pain, and given last Thursday's procedure) I've got it only on the left so far. Hmmmmmm. Veddy intedesting.

Tonight is a wine AND painkillers night. Anyone who wants to scold me, raise your hand if you know you don't break under torture. Please speak up if you can teach me how.

Thank goodness this wasn't last week. Prep for the Bier block included no anti-inflammatories (of the kinds I've got sitting around the house) for seven days. I wouldn't have made it. (Some times I could, but not with a level like this.) I would have had to reschedule.

Night-night. Maybe I can sleep. Maybe.

I do wine, painkillers, Benedryl and sleeping pills. All at the same time. And yet, I live! (And, occasionally, sleep!)

Yay for strong constitutions! Or whatever the heck it is. :-)
