this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Acetaminophen and alcohol can be really dangerous, seriously.

That's true. I wasn't really trying to be flippant. And whatever opiate is in Vicodin isn't good with booze, either.

Acetaminophen and alcohol, as I have learned this week, both lead to stomach bleeds. I have a giant list of drugs I'm not allowed on and foods I'm not allowed to eat until I'm off this fucking drug.

I have to go back for another blood draw. I'm pretty cranky about everything and they don't do afternoon appointments. I said I worked full time and the absolute earliest I could make it was 3:00. If you are going to require I be seen twice a week for blood draws, then I have to do it on my schedule not yours because I can't afford to lose my job and health insurance.

Super cranky = me.

But, oh! I did just reserve a room at the Legoland hotel for the twins' birthday. We're doing a trip instead of a party this year. We're staying in a pirate room and it's still the most expensive hotel room I've ever had.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

If he only knew, Isaac would insist on us doing that for him as well. Hmm....

Chronic illness is a fulltime job.

Alas, yes.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

The more I hear about acetaminophen, the less inclined I am to ever take it.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

tylenol, right?

I am an advil, ibuprofin taker. Not so much anymore, though. A fairly sedentary life has reduced my fibro pain a great deal.

Yeah, Tylenol. I am also on the ibuprofen train.

A fairly sedentary life has reduced my fibro pain a great deal.

That's good, though!

Because books.

Acetaminophen doesn't work for me anymore. I've taken ibuprofen for years.

It's Friday, right?
