Lucky

Friday night I was having Crohn's pain and a miserable cold.  I can either take vicodin or cold medicine, but not both because they both contain tylenol.  So I was going back and forth, trying to figure out which was worse and what the side effects would be.  Since I also had a headache from the cold, I decided to take a vicodin and a benadryl before bed.  I figured the vicodin would help with the Crohn's pain and the benadryl would help with the cold symptoms.  And combined, they would allow me to sleep.  I did get a good night sleep.

Yesterday, I wasn't feeling all that wonderful, but I realized around 1:00 that I hadn't had a BM yet, which is very unusual for me.  It must have been the vicodin, but around 5:00 I had a painful BM that was difficult to get out.  It must have been the vicodin that did that.  However, ever since, I've had the runs.  And a few almost accidents.  Yippy Skippy! (please note extreme sarcasm)

Originally we were supposed to get a snake yesterday, but when I got ready to go to the reptile store, I found out the plan was changed and we were getting a lizard instead.  At first, I was dismayed that I wasn't consulted about this change of plans, but in the end I think the lizard is a better pet for our son.  We got a bearded dragon lizard that my son named Lucky.  He (or maybe she?) is a very active, interested lizard.  She likes to look at us when we're near her tank, and she moves around quite a bit.  I hope she (or he?) adjusts well.  It was a lot of fun feeding the live crickets and watching Lucky eat them.  The cats are enjoying looking at the crickets.
