When I was recovering from my second cancer surgery last year, for months I'd only have the energy to do one small excursion/exertion per day, and I really had to choose what that thing would be. Some days I would be foolish and try to do more than one thing, and then I'd be in agony for a week or more. Hang in there! God willing, the pain will get less (even though it might still be there)... and yeah, it's ALWAYS a good idea to keep a spare percocet or 2 in your purse- you never know when you might need it- I still take the occasional percocet when regular Advil doesn't do the trick...)C.G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02250442382614967318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2782551808324372235.post-19538741268976089252009-08-30T14:52:26.061+03:002009-08-30T14:52:26.061+03:00Good to know I'm not alone in my foolish negli...Good to know I'm not alone in my foolish negligence!!<br /><br />Zahava, Rahel, & Sarah -- LOL!!<br /><br />Even fools love company!<br /><br /><br />Hey Dave -- I wasn't sure which David you were, until I started reading your comment!

I was in really bad pain and so annoyed with myself for *forgetting to put my Pecocet in my purse*. I drove an hour & a half in a car home that way. I didn't even have one with me! I'm a bigger idiot, actually, now that ya think about it. (hey, I probably could've asked you for one that night... didn't even think of that, either!)<br /><br />Don't beat yourself up, just don't do it again. I've learned my lesson.

I have difficulty with heat and dryness, but sometimes I try to ignore that and keep going until my body tells me, with a jolt and a crash, that I've gone too far.<br /><br />I think the word here is, simply, "human."<br /><br />Hugs.Rahel Jaskowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05626844724417933492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2782551808324372235.post-63658722178117732242009-08-28T14:44:56.578+03:002009-08-28T14:44:56.578+03:00Sorry to disappoint -- I am the last person to say...Sorry to disappoint -- I am the <b>last</b> person to say "you're right, you were an idiot...."<br /><br />But I will say that I "feel your (self-inflicted) pain -- quite literally...."<br /><br />I am allergic to MSG -- gives me migraines.
