My Single Mom Life

Today has just dragged by so slowly.
It's been cold all day, and it's supposed to warm up again starting tomorrow.
Sebastian and one of his friends are here and they are playing Rock Band.
This is a wicked cool game, but man oh man, it's so hard singing some of these songs.
The kids are all laughing and having fun screwing up though so I guess it's all good.
They are trying to play Long Time by Boston right now.
It's hysterical...LOL

I'll be at the docs tomorrow and the boys will be here for the delivery of the elliptical.
I hope they can at least help the boys get it in the house.
I can't wait to see it and get it set up.
I hope it's not too difficult to put together though. That would suck..hahahah

I know I've been complaining about this pain medicine he gave me, and you're all probably like Kat, it can't be that bad, or wondering what medicine it is.
It's Tramadol ER, a synthetic opiate.
It affects the central nervous system, and it's affecting mine in a wicked bad way.
The side effects I'm having are some of the ones that you're supposed to tell your doctor about, but I didn't have the deductible to pay him to go see him until tomorrow.
I'm having blurred vision, anxiety, sweats then chills, double vision, neck pain, pain in my calves and ankles, lack of concentration, trouble performing any tasks that require any kind of attention.
At first, it was ok. Like the whole first week, I was like cool, this works, then slowly these side effects started showing up. It's been really bothersome having my vision all screwed up like this.
My balance is off because of it. I'm like staggering and stuff.
So hopefully tomorrow, the doc will listen to me and get me off of these.
I've been taking them for almost a full month, and instead of the side effects going away like most people, they are getting worse.
I don't handle synthetics very well obviously.

Ok, gotta go. The boys can't sing the Train kept a rolling by Aerosmith, and need me to do it.
