- Neurontin 800mg horse pills that I have to get BH to cut in half for me
- Elavil 10mg for the futile attempt at getting some sleep
- Norco (Vicodin) 10mg with no real street value, just great fun for my brain
- Fentanyl 25mg patch that gives me a migrane after 2 days
So, needless to say I'm feeling a little loopy these days. Oh, and the days that I go in for a Shot-in-the-Neck-Nerve-Block I'm not too pleasant to look at or talk to. I get a funny Micky Mouse on helium voice and a droopy right eye (more so than my normal lazy eye) for a few hours after.

| Pretty sexy, right? |
- Dinner out at Bouldin Creek, I knock my coconut-limeade over and it spills everywhere
- Try to make tahini in the Vitamix and lose control of the tamper when I try to switch to my right hand (that's the bad one), end up stripping the gears of the machine and container
- Reach for a banana that's on top of the microwave, end up punching the cabinet with my right hand (bad one) and skinning my knuckles (the already red and swollen ones)
- Attempt to peel Yukon Gold potatoes for dinner, instead peel index finger of left hand (the good hand, are you following?) have to get BH to band-aid it up
- Cat is scratching the couch, so I pick her up to bring her to the non-couch scratching post and she flips around and scratches me, through my shirt and scratches off a mole(!!) that I've had my whole life. Again had to get BH to band-aid me
Not too bad, you say? This was just within a couple of days, and I am normally quite graceful. Ask anyone. I can't imagine getting behind the wheel of a car...
Well, do the benefits outweigh the accidents? I am still feeling pain in my right arm/hand 24/7 except when my hand is under hot water or lying perfectly still - not in my splint with nothing touching it. Both of these times are very brief, as I have a mile long list of physical therapy exercises and torture devices to keep me moving. I'll go into more detail on the torture devices in another chapter...
Good night!
