So this weekend my dads family is having a family reunion. There are at least 70 people expected to show, possibly more. At last count, 22 ‘first cousins’ had confirmed. (Those are my dads first cousins. They range in age from mid-40’s to mid-60’s.) Those cousins will bring their kids…who will bring their kids…etc…
Some of them haven’t seen me since I was about 10 years old. I haven’t seen some of them since before they lost their hair and suffered their midlife crises. This should be interesting.
I have thrombophlebitis in my arm from when I had my IV. My arm is sore as hell…and the pain meds make me itchy. Honestly, can someone tell me how anybody could tolerate the icky side effects of taking pain medication just to have a few hours of ‘high’? I take enough to stay comfortable, and only when I know I’ll be sleeping.
Anyway, happy Fourth of July weekend to my American friends. Stay safe and have fun!
I’m not sure what you’re taking, but morphine is my nemesis. It’s a pain medication that does absolutely nothing to help the pain and gets me all effed up in an unpleasant way. Blech!
