Pills . . . (Part 2)

I have never truly understood until the last few weeks how energy draining it is to be in constant pain. Perhaps it's something we can't learn until we experience it for ourselves. And even though the pain I am in isn't excruciating, it still sucks up energy and leaves me feeling wrung out.

Yesterday I saw one of the doctors who works at my GP's clinic because my own GP didn't have an opening. I was prescribed Percocet and started taking them yesterday afternoon. They are working so far, and I don't seem to be experiencing any side effects. Yay! One of the side effects the doctor warned me about, however, I hope to experience - euphoria. I think I could use some of that!

Three more sleeps!
