Tuesday-so far so good

I am feeling pretty good today, this is good for a change since most of the time I am either really tired or really achy or something not as pleasant but today I am doing ok so far.

The kids had to go have a TB test done today since they changed schools and that meant we got to sleep in until 7 this morning so that helped and I woked up at 5:30 and took my medicines so at 7 I was feeling pretty good, with the extra sleep and the medicines working. I am afraid my doctor is going to take away the lortab because she said I am using too much and she is worried about my liver and I do not know what I will do if she does that. It is so hard to move around in the mornings especially and at work I am up and down because I get stiff if I sit for too long so hopefully we will come up with something that works better because I know I am taking too many lortab but they are not very effective because they do not work unless I take 3 every three hours instead of 2 every four to six hours. I know that is too many but it is the only way to keep it under control. It is noon and I have taken six today and this is a good day so imagine what I take on a bad day-ALOT yet they are not very effective. I wish I would not have said the oxycontin were too strong, I should have given it more time because I do need something stronger now. Your body starts to build up a tolerance to any pain medicine after awhile and that is what is happening to me.

If you have any suggestions-feel free to comment and let me know-thanks.
