Rude awakenings

Yesterday I met with one of my "Medical Team". I only call them that because there seem to be so many. This one deals with my ears, nose and throat. Nothing very helpful came out of it. Does it ever?

Don’t do OXY

Yesterday, Grant took me for a drive, in the hope of seeing something that would lift me out of the funk. See Blackie there? I feel like that, only a lot less relaxed. From what I can gather I have PAWS. Well yes, 11 sets of them, but that's not what I mean. Post Acute … Continue reading Don’t do OXY →

Out of focus

I'm not all the way there yet and the home stretch could be the really hard part. It depends, really, how many challenges you undertake at the same time, I … Continue reading Making changes →

Upside? Down?

One of my two "Christmas trees". After due consideration, I arrived at the conclusion that weaning off oxycodone is returning me to my natural state, that being bad-tempered bitch. For reason unknown (I don't want to know), I thought it was "cool" to have a fiery temper when I was young. Perhaps it was a … Continue reading Upside? Down? →

Small victories

Sometimes I ask myself why I live with so many cats. Why do I put myself through all the extra work, and accept the irritation they sometimes cause? Like stepping all over my keyboard! Mostly, I wonder, how many more times can I go through having one of them put to sleep? Colin is dying … Continue reading Small victories →

Bashing my head

These past few days I feel as if I am knocking my head against a wall. Like everything I do takes me off on a tangent of confusion and frustration. Technology, largely. Anyone who has an on-going prescription for a controlled substance will understand. Apply for renewal two days ahead of time and they look … Continue reading Bashing my head →
