One step forward...several steps back

Goal: brush teeth

Yes. I have reverted back to the goals of yester-months - brush teeth.  Thankful that the bottom of my frame was removed three days ago, I am now faced with dealing w/ the pain which prevents me from functioning through-out the day, thus forcing me to get back to basics: brush teeth and possibly, wash face.

The Norco which was prescribed yesterday, works well but keeps me extremely drowsy. I don't mind sleeping, but I know it is a bit extreme and it also has my mom worried (sorry mom). I tried to take a lesser dosage of the Norco but that did not help w/ the level of pain.  I will most likely stay on the full dosage for a while before tailoring it down again. I just took another dose of meds but they haven't kicked in as I waited too long. I hopeful that I will feel some relief in the next 30 minutes.

I never imagined wearing this frame would bring so many ups and downs...so MANY!
