Barb, how many ibuprofen do you normally take, when you need to take it? (For headache, cramps, whatever.)
Because ibuprofen might be enough, if you take 4. Which you can.
Inara: So. Would you like to lecture me on the wickedness of my ways? Book: I brought you some supper, but if you'd prefer a lecture, I've a few very catchy ones prepped. Sin and hellfire... one has lepers.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

“Not dead yet!”
Tep, I've got a pretty high tolerance and can easily take 800 mg. (Which they gave me a prescription for and I'm alternating with the Perc.) I'm planning on using the ibu after the percoset runs out, but I'm trying to figure out if there's anything that can bridge the dif between the two if the ibu's not enough.

Our wings are not tired.
Rum? Well, it is my painkiller of choice.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Ultram is my painkiller of choice. It doesn't make me nauseated or as loopy as percocet or darvocet or even codeine. I loves my tramadol.

Tylenol with codeine?

Gronklies.
My presentation at the conference went well. Getting home from the conference, not so well. But, home now. Finally.

I wore my arm in a sling on the flights to Lexington, but today it was feeling better, so I didn't wear the sling on the flights back. People are much more likely to be nice about helping me with stuff when I've got the sling. The big issue is getting my carryon in the overhead compartment -- even when my shoulder is fine, that's difficult, because I have to lift a heavy suitcase above my head. Three of the four times today that I asked someone for help with it, the person sighed and glared at me. They did help, but only after sighing and glaring. When I was wearing the sling, I got the help without the sighs and glares.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
People are like that, Hil. I travel now with a blown out knee and no cane, and people aren't nearly as understanding. And I have a limp to show--you have nothing.
I need to bitch--Lunesta is just the nothingest sleep aid. If it is helping, I'm really badly off, because it takes an hour to get to sleep, and it's terribly shallow sleep. I'm awake before 4 am and forcing myself to keep lying down almost every morning.

Compassionately intolerant
Oh ita, I know that pain. Many peaceful sleep vibes coming your way.
Bartleby ran into traffic during our first year together. By the grace of God, I remembered what I had learned to do...turn in the direction I wanted him to go, cheerfully called his name, clapped and ran.
This frozen calm came over me as I ran and a voice said, "Either I won't see him die, or, when I stop, he'll be right behind me." You know the end of the story. In the ensuing years, I've taught perhaps a hundred pet people that simple rule. It always works. Thank God.
