Better living through chemistry

Now that Kaiser, my HMO, is online and I can write to my docs anytime, I was able to have a prescription for a strong painkiller waiting for me at the pharmacy this morning. The pain is not altogether gone but much more manageable.

I am sitting here wrapped in a beautiful large scarf that our daughter Emma sent along with gifts for the rest of the family from India and Pakistan. The scarf even smells authentic - the store must have been filled with incense.
