Well, my doctor has re-instituted the normal regimen
Oh thank goodness. But yes, get a card. Make sure you have all the possible pain-lessening options that are available to you.
I don't know about you guys, but I've had it with super-strong little women who aren't me.

I'm glad you're back on the "normal" regimen. I wish normal sucked less.

That. Also, too bad Dr. House is not real. Although there is a paralyzed specialist of some sort whose name is House.

I got some frozen beef and broccoli for dinner for something different. I have since ordered a pizza. it wasn't even the broccoli that turned me off, the texture of the beef was horrendous. Perhaps my housemate will like it.

Not on, KFC. I didn't want to cook tonight, so I got takeout and discovered that instead of the chicken livers I ordered, they'd given me gizzards. My former alleycats that I've caught eating string turned their noses up at them.

Not a successful food night.

Sorry about stealing the food karma tonight, you guys. My dinner was roasted beets with olive oil and goat cheese, roasted asparagus, crumbled bacon, an egg over easy, and sliced avocado.

I didn't eat. But that's because I got Panera half salad and sandwich mid afternoon after getting floaty in Walmart (they were my Hail Mary for non-disposable plastic plate for the feeder, but failed. Otoh, they had 40 lbs of birdseed at a price I couldn't walk away from.) I tried to order everything without onion, I got tons of onion. At least I could pick it out of the salad. (I like onion, but it is a gut bomb. As it was, Loki actually swatted my gut at one burble. Jesus, getting old.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I use IFTTT but not enough to get spammed, I think.
It only pings me when my doctor emails me, so that's about twice a year. It's just that he's done so twice in two days and I got that weird spam text right afterwards.
NOT ONLY AM I BACK ON THE NORMAL REGIMEN, he will consider an extra dose whenever I have a procedure (::sigh::, how non-rocket science is being ready for pain, even if you can't get in front of it??).
In a perfect world, though, no more procedures for a while. I've just had two in, like, two months.
Make sure you have all the possible pain-lessening options that are available to you.
It's clear I'm "on my own"¹ on this one, so yeah. My mother will be over the moon. She's been trying to get me on pot instead of dilaudid for months. If I take some instead of an extra visit to an ER, she will feel much better. I should tell her.
¹Clearly that doesn't take into account you splendid people.
