Insert motto here.
Yesterday's schedule compared to today's. In lieu of doses on the hour taken at a leisurely pace - think Oh is it that time? Yes, let's have a spot of tea and a sandwich I skipped the bedtime safety dose, woke up feeling quite bad (understatement), steeled myself right quick and downed all 4 pills in 1 go. Bedtime safety? Painkillers to last me until the morning when the fun starts all over again. Tylenol Extra Strength is ok, nothing impressive. Wish I'd piped up when the physician asked me if I wanted something stronger. For your further edification here is a table outlining said medication adventure.

Would I trade straight-shot sleep for say, a carefully controlled med regimen? Hmmm. A pretty long and furious thunderstorm shook our little household around I don't know when and I got up for a few minutes, just in time to see my sib Nan and L. taking care of things: Unplugging stuffs and closing patio doors, windows, the like. Maybe I dreamed up the whole thing. But yes - Sleep is very good, but not waking up to great pain is even better.
