I am sure that is not a direct quote from anything. I know there are several related to it, as I 'googled' the phrase to see. Most were Bible verses regarding truth, and then there were other verses about pain, though the truth one is the closest to the wording. Not that you really care....
But I am in some pain (still). I knew after last Thursday, in going to the rodeo, I may be sore in the legs. However, Friday I wasn't hurting too bad. But after going to the NASCAR race on Sunday - hoo boy! Before we even left our seats, I already was starting to ache in the legs, and we had a long ways to go on foot. Monday, I sat in my office chair, and the only moving around I did was to go to the bathroom. My thighs and knees are just letting me know I overdid the workout. Been taking acetaminophen like it is candy every two hours... In its own way, it does feel good though. Like after a good workout. I just over went the boundary.
The Wife was kind enough on Sunday to pick up my prescription while she was out and about, so I decided to start it that night. Without naming it, this drug was originally for neuropathy, epileptics, and restless leg syndrome, but one of the strong side effects was drowsiness, so is used at times for those with insomnia. From what I read online, it sounded like I was going to have to take it 3x/day, but the order is for 1 pill at bedtime. So Sunday night I dropped one as I headed to bed. I am not sure if it was the pill, or all the exercise from the walking, or a combo thereof, but I slept good, and deep, that night, waking late in the morning. Best sleep I have had in weeks!!! So last night, I wanted to see if there would be a difference. Popped the pill, and though I didn't immediately drop off to slumberland, I did fairly quickly. Let's call it about 8 hours good sleep, and I was up about 6:45a feeling awake and rested. I recall waking a couple times int he night, but only to adjust my CPAP mask. I think this med might actually be good for the insomnia. The downside is I cannot only take 'as needed', and have to take daily regardless. Small price to pay - at least the cost of the medicine is $0 with my insurance.
So today my thighs are still letting me know they aren't happy, but not as bad as yesterday. I will be up and moving to day, as I do have a VFW Aux meeting this evening, and I want to do some errands this afternoon. In my mindset today, it feels like it things are looking up. Now if the Company would get me on a project....
Oh, and RM... it was not me up at 2am for you to worry and pray over (this time).
