I am half awake and feeling awful. I am so groggy I decide to forget about the day and go back to sleep. I feel like I just need to rest and rejuvenate. Did baking a slice really take that much out of me? Or did the THC make me dopey? I slept well so that’s a positive at least.

When I get up later I call Ly, Dr Kt’s nurse and ask her about my pain. She suggests staggering my medications more so I basically take something every other hour. She talks about peaks and troughs and breakthrough pain which are the exact words used by the sales people in Dopesick – a TV docu drama about addiction and OxyContin that we’ve just finished watching. Whatever. I’ll give it a try. I’ll try anything. The irony is not lost on me.
