Good point...

Being up and unable to sleep all night. 

Pain levels in my feet have been 8-10 since about 11:00 PM last night.

That doesn't sound good...

My drugs are just not getting the pain under control. The Lyrica usually keeps it down to about 1-2 and that's normal for me the past three or four years, but last night it went up to the top of the scale and even my standby/emergency drug (Oxy) could not take the edge off. 

The Oxy is only for the rare flareup, like last night, and because it's only used once or twice a month it always works like a charm... but, sadly, not last night! The level is still at about a 4, so I guess that it's time for another Oxy to supplement the Lyrica, hope it works this time.

I hope all goes well soon!

At this moment all is well... my right foot is about a 1 and that's my normal. 

Now me just needs to deal with the opioid constipation that can come with the oxy.

A friend at work was about to retire in a week and that's all he talked about and was so happy about it. Yesterday, he had a stroke and passed away!!!

That's unfortunate for him and his family and is sad to hear.

'Loneliest man in the world' dies: Tribesman who lived in isolation for 26 years after cattle ranchers killed the rest of his tribe is found dead in Brazilian rainforest

A tribesman dubbed 'the loneliest man in the world' after living in isolation for 26 years has died in the Brazilian rainforest.

Land grabbers and cattle ranchers had completely wiped out the rest of his tribe in several attacks since the 1970s, leaving him to live out the rest of his days on his own.

The hermit shunned all contact with the outside world although authorities kept an eye on him and occasionally left him supplies.

Let's talk about the loneliest man on Earth....

Sad...but true. As I've said in another topic, "It's going away any time soon!"
