How are things going over there on the frontage rd?

I havent been able to sit at a computer for most of the last week, and I know that lost of folks want to know. I sent this in an email in response to the subject question: Things are healing ok. I took yesterday off (not originally planned) because I was feeling a bit nauseous when I sat up. I stopped taking oxycodone on Saturday, mostly, had two pills yesterday. What I did quit doing was taking them every 4 hours. Saturday afternoon I had what some are describing as a panic attack which was brought on by heat, too much hard drugs for too long, etc. I found myself questioning my connection to “reality”, and whether I would ever return to “baseline”. For this period of time, I didn’t even trust smoking a little to calm me down. I called Isha (who was out at the house much of the weekend takin care of me). she had gone into town in the morning to feed their dogs, etc. She asked me what I needed, I said “company. Where are you?” They were only at the safeway a few miles away. She arrived 25 minutes later, but I would have sworn it had been an hour or more. I’ve noticed that I am hypersensitive to excessive heat lately (as in, the threshold of “excessive” is lower than usual). I’ve taken to doing things like going in the car just so I can run the A/C and cool down for that period of time. Michelle’s doing ok, she went to LA over the weekend. Apparently that went well for her, she didn’t have any issues related to her surgery other than having to pack light enough that she could bring her luggage without breaking her 5 lb restriction. The combination of our respective inabilities is really inconvenient - Michelle is not allowed to lift more than 5 lbs for 6 weeks, and I can’t carry anything while on crutches. Anyways, that’s the short version. -bob
