So I'm on neurontin now for the pain issue and it's working better for sleep so far that all the options we've tried. Today, in honor of annual tradition of getting sick for Christmas (not as bad as ND's family, thankfully, only ended up at urgent care once and that was after 2 straight days of vomitting and the stepmother started to worry about dehydration. It's apparently poor form to return your new husband's daughter damaged after a holiday with your family) I have a brutal cough. Like, the kind that's super painful and makes you worry about losing bits of lung. I have tylenol 3 w/ codeine which usually works like a charm for knocking out both me and any wicked cough but the internet tells me there is a drug interaction. From best i can tell they just intensify each other WRT drowsiness and grogginess which is fine by me....I came home early from work and just want to sleep till it's time to go back tomorrow. Anyone know if I'm cruisin for misery in the morning?

We are still in the ER but getting discharged. Exhausted.

I would have much rather kept my Dive Bar Christmas tradition. Alas the bar closed a few years ago and Mom still goes to the ER every few years. At least she didn't get admitted to the hospital this year.

Well that's good at least. I feel for you guys.

So many things. About all I can think to say is "Yikes!", not that it's helpful in any way.

ND & Pix, so sorry to hear the bad tradition is reoccurring. Glad to hear she is on the way home.

Erin_O, tons of health~ma!

Sean, hope things get sorted out.

Oh, nevermind, I have nyquil. Duh. Will start there.

Sean, nothing I can say that is at all useful. I can't think of anything beyond that it sucks beyond the telling of it.

All best wishes that things work out, Sean.

Sorry to hear about the ER visit, Drew and Pix.

Sending all my Xmas wishes to LA. (The rest of y'all will have to wait for Groundhog Day.)
