Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Recovery Ward 2010
Don't chuck my bed yet, I'm still not done recovering... this week things got wuss instead of better. (Last weekend was indeed a lull in the storm.)

Saw a doctor yesterday and and am trying to decide if the cure is worse than the disease -- anti-siezure medication (Neurontin - gabapentin) is the prescription for my "post-herpetic neuralgia" (its other use is for epilepsy), and it makes me drowsy/woozy. Have to figure out the right dosage to be functional and reduce the pain from a 6 to a 4, as advertised.

Going to miss the special contra dance tonight, but will go on leave from the sickbed to make my way back to the old cohousing neighborhood to watch a showing of "It Might Get Loud" in the Common House. This mostly because I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired, and the boy might enjoy it as well. I can bring cushions with me...

But don't change the sheets yet!
