Hi @utopia
That medication you are on sound like fun - I think I have had some of the same or something similar when I had an epidural for knee surgery - wow - what fun that was - I thought I would enjoy myself because it wasn't going to happen again - unlikely to - the knee surgery went fine.
You need this break on planet X though - what part of the galaxy are you in and btw - are you a Trekky - to enjoy this outer-space zone.
And @Zoe7
It sounds like pretty hard stuff but you have had some good sleep - sleep is good - I highly recommend it
I hope things get easier for you if you are sleeping better - that it continues - and I am thinking of you

I highly recommend sleep too @Owlunar lol
With the increase in dosages there are some side effects - mainly feeling tired all the time and I can fall asleep during the day (which has happened the last 2 days) - when the pain killers are added in I sometimes feel even more nauseous - to the point of passing out - so I don't drive anywhere to be safe. We reassess how it is all going on Wednesday and then my psychoatrist will decide whetherto add in another med, increase the dose again or just stick with what we are doing now. My feeling is that she with add in another med as she has already talked to my GP about it.
I do hope you are on the plane to the Maldives with us too Dec - need our wise owl with us too

@Faith-and-Hope Toby and I are off our hammock - been for a virtual walk along the beach - and are now resting back on the couch. We will return to the hammock when the weather clears a little - both at home and in my head. It is definitely going to rain here shortly and my head fills a little like it is full of water - not going under but mindful that I could if I don't take it easy and just let the day happen!
Maybe tonight I can jump on the plane again and visit the sunshine and tranquility of our Maldives retreat but for now need to 'park it up' and get through the day.
Thinking of you - as always...

I could be ready to go to the Maldives - or anywhere @Zoe7
I am nearly finished with the tax receipts - totally over it actually - and I will shower when I have finished this mess - and I have an idea about having a nap
My pain-killers all by themselves make me drowsy - and if I have a nap in the afternoon I don't feel like eating afterward - and I have finished with the cook-chook I got on Thursday - totally forgot about the public holiday.
And I had a driver to take me shopping on Thursday instead of Friday - and when I was seeing my pain specialist on Friday I got a phone call that I switched off - but they tried again and wouldn't give up - the regular driver had turned up at my place and was worried -
This had all be sorted out by med - but stuff-ups happen - they are a regular part of my life and I am ALWAYS here when I am supposed to be
Aw......................
But I am well cared for
What was that about the Maldives - I have never been there - I will have to look it up. We all need a holiday
