| - | I'm not going to be able to make it to Shane's slideshow or down to Fairhaven the following morning to watch the race. Last night started out just like the others; I laid out my nightly supply of pain meds and stool softeners before being lifted into bed by my girlfriend. In case you just tuned in, I had hip surgery on Monday and I'm milking it for every dime I can. Wednesday night was uneventful so I won't bore you with that. Thursday night however, is the night that should be seriously analyzed. Maybe it was the lack of drugs or maybe it the fact that Paul Clement was going to be sitting in my seat in my tandem surfski on Saturday morning. Not that I'm jealous (just mad as a hornet that was sprayed with cold water). | + | I'm not going to be able to make it to Shane's slideshow or down to Fairhaven the following morning to watch the race.

| So my routine is to take a pill every time I wake up and I go right back to sleep within minutes. Last night, I would wake-up thinking that I'd already taken my pain medication and would fall back to sleep. Through the night, my pain increased as did my error in judgment. At one point, I dreamt that I had dislocated my new hip. This is the Ted Bundy of things that could take you by surprise following hip surgery. I laid there semi-conscious trying to decide whether I should crawl to the phone or wait until morning, and possibly force my granddaughter to make the call for me. I must have fallen back into slumberville, because I was reawaked by a loud thump that came from my pelvis - either I dreamt the reduction of my dislocation or somehow my strong inner self, feeling the need to take the helm, muscled the titanium head back in for me. | So my routine is to take a pill every time I wake up and I go right back to sleep within minutes.

| - | When I finally awoke at 0745, all my pain pills were on the stand where I had left them the night before, and most of my pain was still present. I had to wonder that since I'd been worrying so much about dislocating my first prosthetic, that maybe I had a virtual dislocation in my sleep. Best thing to do was to consult my favorite physician. | + | When I finally awoke at 0745, all my pain pills were on the stand where I had left them the night before, and most of my pain was still present.
