It was a restful day here at the CatBox. This morning I had my second Trump** Virus vaccine. I felt a little queasy, but my side effects were nowhere neat as severe as last time. The Providence nurse came and for once we were on the same page from beginning to end. Methadone is up to 25 mg. I get no oxy. and I get 20 mg of morphine up to once an hour as needed. Please pray that, now that it’s fixed, they avoid the temptation to break it.

It’s been a drowsy day, here in the CatBox with much less pain than I have suffered in months. Sadly, it still hurts. They increased my methadone, eliminated oxycodone and set my morphing at up to 20 mg per hour, as needed. I’m using less. Please pray that they adjust updates well, and keep me supplied.

It’s been a painful day here in the CatBox, but relief is in sight. in addition to my other meds, I am allowed 10 mg morphine every hour as needed However Providence pharmacy was late in refilling my prescription, and it just got here. I have been in severe pain, but I’ll feel better after a couple doses. Pray that my supply does not run out.

It’s a tired painful day here in the CatBox. This morning a Providence bathing aide came to clean me up. She did a very good job, was gentle and was compassionate, but despite her best efforts, moving me around exacerbated my pain severely. It did not let up for the rest of the day. Two days at the new level are enough to demonstrate that I need more and shall ask for it immediately. Please pray that they increase my Methadone level quickly.

It’s a groggy painful day here in the CatBox. I spent most of the morning fighting pain. With my 3 PM dose Hospice increased my Methadone dose from 15 mg to 18 mg every 8 hours. I can tell the difference, but I think I’ll need more. I did Republicate twice and slept for the rest of the day. Please pray that this increase will ease my pain.

It’s another crappy, painful day here in the CatBox. Yesterday I Republicated half the Republican House Caucus before my shower and Republicated two more times before the say was out, exacerbating my back pain to an extreme degree. I talked to the Hospice and I expect another Methadone increase. I keep you posted when they let me know. Please pray for stability in Republication, medication and pain.

It’s a painful crappy day here in the CatBox. I finally Republicated and strained so hard that my back is killing me, A day and a half after the increase in my Methadone dose it’s apparent the increase is not enough, and I shall request more when my Providence Nurse is here Monday. Please pray for easier Republication and more effective medication.

It’s a painful groggy day here in the CatBox. The way I feel, I may Republicating before I finish writing this. Yesterday WWWendy’s shower exacerbated my back pain severely. They finally increased my methadone dose from 12 to 15 mg, but I’ve had only two doses at that level, not enough make a difference so far. Please pray that both my Republication and pain stabilize at acceptable levels.
