I slept fairly late, slept a lot in the night but did wake up a few times with pain. I'm worried about not having enough of the breakthrough medicine now too -- wish I could just take ibuprofen as needed but the Warfarin (blood thinner/anticoagulant) makes that not a good plan. I'm lucky to have the OK to take the Vioxx once a day. I hate being on such an array of drugs, and then still to have breakthrough pain just seems crazy. Seems like I ought not to feel a thing. All of them are working together, though -- trying to take one out of the mix just makes me feel how the ongoing pain really is being managed properly with this array of pills, this insane cocktail of pharmaceutical drugs. I'm grumbly because I'm going to have to arrange an early-morning drive to Dr. Janet's office on Monday -- if I could just keep track in advance of when I'm going to run out of things that need a written Rx & can't just be phoned in, I could get these mailed to me and have them in hand to get to the pharmacy when I need them. Then, too, it's confusing because the plan will only fill some via mail-order, so I have to keep on top of those in advance. I can do this. I can be super-organized-girl. Grr. Time to go do exercises. Starting with the "easy" ones.
