I don't understand why people who have legitimate pain have to beg for pain relief. I have a lot of pain from this surgery. I asked for a refill and he said absolutely not but I'll give you this instead. The instead is not going to cut it. Unfortunately I am at the whim of doctors who are afraid of having addicted patients. Guess what guys, I am an adult and I know what works for me.
The same thing with benzodiazepines. I took a low dose 2x a day for many years and my ADD was under control. Then the govt said oh no, look at all these prescriptions and these people are addicted. So now I take antidepressants which modify some symptoms but not all.
I know in the long run these things don't mean a whole lot, but after 8 months of confinement, a little less hinky would be nice.
We ordered a full boneless breast meal from the market. Comes with everything you need, but I'll make a couple of more sides like corn pudding to go with the other veggies. And at least 2 more pies. This family likes pies, and we've been known to have cold pumpkin pie with whipped cream for breakfast. I will make my own cranberry sauce with grand marnier to flavor it.
Christmas I will have helpers at the house so that is going. to be a maple pecan glazed ham with scalloped potatoes and several veggies. That's more of a grazing meal than anything. Veggies, cheese balls, crudites, firschgurken, olives, you name it. It's spread out on the table and get what you want to eat. Settle in.
It's grey outside, light grey not stormy. A balmy 64ยบ here. I am still in my night gown, since I'm not going anywhere or doing anything. I will change into my comfy sweats and watch a few more episodes of whatever catches my fancy. Yesterday was the Borgias, but Jeremy Irons looks so ghastly in it. There's always Outlander, The Witcher, and Lucifer to amuse me.
A good holiday to those who have one next week, a good lockdown to all of us.
Peace
