Pain Sucks

Last Thursday, Dr. Davidoff called to say that not only do I have a fatty liver, but also steatohepatitis, meaning some of the liver is damaged, maybe permanently. He said I can no longer take any NSAID or other arthritis medication.

So since Friday morning, I have been in incredible pain in my feet, my knees, my hips, my neck, and my hand, all of which has given me a tension headache.

I bought cannibidiol, cbd oil, based on recommendations from a lot of people I know with similar pain. It comes in flavors, and I chose vanilla, but it doesn't taste like vanilla; it tastes like I'm chewing on leaves. It's awful. I put it in my banana shake, which gives it a bad aftertaste but at least ameliorates the nasty a bit.

Meanwhile, today I need to see the doc to get hepatitis A and B vaccinations. I'll talk to him about pain relief too.

I got to babysit Eliana yesterday while Jesse and Liz went out to brunch. It's their last week home together. Eliana was cluster feeding, just like Buddy, every 45 minutes or so, but then she fell asleep on me about an hour before they got home. It was nice.

The sun is finally out after five days of rain. And I'm finally down to 228, so back to the pool for more exercise.
