Looking forward to the six month mark.

I'm looking forward to March when it will have been six months off of methadone.  I'm hoping that I will feel much better.  My last Norco was December 1st, so sixth months for that one will not be until school's out. But the time passes rather quickly when you are working.  I really only think about the pills when I'm hurting, but I grab tylenol instead of opiates.  Trying chiropractic care for the neck and shoulder pain, and seeing knee surgeon on Tuesday and hoping for some physical therapy.  I'm optomistic (how the heck do you spell that) Nothing hurts so bad that I can't get out of bed.  I thank God for my husband!  Even though he's annoying sometimes, he goes to the tennis courts to play with our 13 yr old son, at age 59.  I so wish I could do it.  He'll bring me supper upstairs when I can't make myself go up and down them after teaching all day.  He cleans the kitchen.  Poor guy.  All he wants is sex once a week, and I haven't been able to do that for the last three.  Hoping to get some relief from a massage at the chiropractor tomorrow.

Brain Frat!  I teach spelling!  The naughty (i), schwa sound in an unaccented syllable.  Like I said, maybe I'll be better at the sixth month juncture. The receptors are still repopulating!
