It's getting better

After some false-starts, I'm hoping that this week sees me returning to 100 percent duties on your daily dose.

"Up and down" kind of best describes how I've been over the past week but things are (finally) settling down to more like the normal I've enjoyed for many years.

I arose at 1:50am this morning, pretty normal for me, and have been trying in vain to catch up with the hundreds of new emails that have accumulated during my month or so of absence. This task alone is going to take several more days to complete.

I've ditched all pain relief, except for the evil that is Gabapentin. Oh how I hate this medication -- at 900mg per day it left me in a zombie-like state and I've read horror stories about how difficult it is to get off it. Apparently the withdrawal effects are severe and long-lasting.

So far, over a week, I've dropped from 900mg per day to 600mg per day and have suffered chronic insomnia as just about the only downside. I'll trying to get down to 300mg per day by week's end and I hope I don't see any of the other horrific outcomes that others have had to endure.

Forums are Down

Damn, why is it so hard to keep any reliable forum capability going these days?

I'll be working to get the forums up again but it seems that it might not be a simple task. The hosting company has obviously changed something but now it's up to me to try and get PHPBB working with their new configuration :-/
