narcotic withdrawal seems to be tapering off. yesterday was bad.
i did take a prn percocet to get me through my son's doctor appt
this afternoon, though. didn't want to suddenly be doubled over
with gut cramps at an inopportune moment. slept all day, until
about 2 pm when i had to get ready for the appt. got up this am,
ate breakfast, then back to sleep. slept this evening, too. i
hope i can sleep tonight...

i still feel pretty awful, but self-destructive thoughts are
nearly nonexistent. the exception is suicidal ideation, but i'm
used to that, and even that is better than it was. i guess i'm
improving all-around.
