Sitting on the couch watching the aquarium after leaving the house with my wife for the first time in 5 days. We went to Costco (painful), a couple vitamin places looking for lemon bioflavonoids and CBD oil, and finally a burger spot we had wanted to try. I made it through the meal but had to retreat once the place got packed out. I was able to do a bit of leaf raking while enjoying the effects of the CBD. (Kind of felt like I took a Valium but not as synthetic feeling, if that make sense). So far a decent day.
Wondering why I invited two families over for Christmas. When you have a halfway decent day you suddenly think you're invisible or something. At least I do. I get this feeling like I'm cured or something. My gf will handle the brunt of the entertaining. But still, I kinda wish I could take back those invitations.
“Just say no!”~Nancy Reagan (couldn’t resist) I feel your pain. Trying to make plans for first of the year now...same dilemma.
I feel ya, Pupper. When my family of origin is around I wish I were invisible! Would said families understand that you are recovering from serious surgery so the invites are void?
Making dinner, trying not to think about one more long work day tomorrow with the psychotic general public.
Pro tip, Pupper: Don’t make light of the work that women do at Christmas to make the holidays special for their family.
Thinking the AVs might be working for me. Had what I thought was going to be a full scale attack today when my family was over for Xmas. I took my usual cocktail of Valium, meclizine and zofran and went to the bedroom for about an hour until the nastiness passed. I’ve had about 4 attacks since I started valacyclovir a month ago, each one being less severe than the previous.
Pupper, just for that comment, I dare YOU to pick out five cookie recipes and make them from start to finish. No help with anything, including cleanup, allowed! List must include, linzer, cut-out sugar, and meringue cookies! Good luck!
