Nothing new or good to report. I still have a constant stabbing pain in the left side and last night the right side started screaming. My pain manager raised my meds and gave me TWO breakthroughs (Roxicodone & Percoset)but he put the wrong date on the breakthrough script so I cant fill it until next month. I still have enough breakthroughs stockpiled the past few years to make it through until then.
I have home therapy 2x a week and I think I'm making progress there. I can do the exercises, even though they are painful, I still do them.
My vertical time is still 1/2 hour so I spend all of my time in bed. My queen size electric bed was delivered but the guy came alone so he couldnt bring it upstairs. I am still living in the living room so I guess the room is being used for what was intended for.
I am getting really good at GTA4. I will be working on the Rugby08 game next.
I see Dr. Goldstein on Monday and he's has some splaining to do.
