I am allowed to, beside the opiate, also take big doses of paracetamol for the pain in my back. My GP gave me the permission to today. He does not want to prescribe a stronger pain medication until he knows what the real problem is and we won't know that most likely until Wednesday.
At the moment I have gotten very lucky because both of them are working well and my back is not giving me too much trouble and that is almost cause for a celebration. It is too bad that I do not drink or I would finish up the vodka that is still on the shelf in the kitchen. It would be nice to get a bit tipsy, but I dare not.
I do know that I am going to stay up for a long while because I want to enjoy every moment that I am not in a lot of pain. It will be time to go to bed when I start feeling uncomfortable. I remember to sit up straight so I don't put a lot of stress on my back and if it is at all possible, to lean back in a pillow for a bit. I am learning all the little tricks as I go along.
The Exfactor was visiting me this afternoon and just as he was getting ready to leave, the Cowboy came home from Amsterdam so I was not alone for a minute. Isn't it nice how they don't leave me unattended? Tyke was so happy to see the Cowboy that he almost climbed on top of him.
The Cowboy thinks that Amsterdam and San Francisco are the two best cities on earth and he would like to spend equal portions of the year in them. In Amsterdam, he tried to find out how much it would cost to live there for six months. I hope he can make his dream come true.
My dream is to spend time on one of the islands on the north coast with a few of the people I love. I want to walk on the windblown beach and smell the sea. I would like to sit in the tall grassy dunes and look into the far horizon and not think about anything but how pleasant it is to be there. I do hope that my dream comes true also.

I'm so glad to hear that you're better able to manage your back pain. My chiropractor has been working with me, and I am a lot better. It is so good to be pain free. I've been able to cut way back on my paracetamol (we call it acetaminophen). Doctor says maybe one more treatment is needed, on Friday. After that, I'll probably be good, for at least a while.
And you have not one man, but two, in your service. You certainly could get spoiled by that!
Ah, and a walk on a north coast island. The kind of place that I would enjoy. In fact, my wife and I spent a summer on such an island the summer after were married. That was interesting!
Blessings and Bear hugs!
Try not to get over tired physically, it is tempting to push the limits when pain flees for a while!
I do hope your dream happens as mine did :)
