I had to choose between my sleeping pill (Temazepam 30mg) and my pain pill (Vicodin 10mg/325mg.) (Vicodin is trade name for pill with hydrocodone in it, which is wonderful for my sore neck.) This is due to new Federal regulations.

What to do? What to do? I decided to choose my sleeping pill, which I am tapering off of anyways. Meanwhile, I have to be careful not to stress my neck.

Having made the decision with my pdoc, who was real nice to me today (and warned me about the downsides of Hydrocodone,) I feel okay with what I have decided. My neck is pretty good today. So I guess I'm okay. I did come out of the hole. I think I'm up out of it.
