Day 19 (Weds) At this point, I'm thinking me getting up a bit achy is pretty good considering I don't get up in the night to dose. Because I'm sleeping all the way through. I had to install a rough-in kit and new faucet in the garden tub laying on my back with my trusty wrench and teflon tape, and didn't feel half-dead afterwards. Hey I might as well get some stuff done while I'm feeling pretty good.

(Trying to catch up on writing these. Last couple days I've had around here are a story for another thread...woot).

Day 20 (Thurs) Feeling good enough today to start a new project (better to consider them projects than chores). Started removing limbs from 2 evergreen trees that should have never been planted where they are. Had to promise my other half I wouldn't do the heavy cuts or actual felling on my own.  Doctor's orders not to lift anything over 20 lbs. and at that, only a couple times daily, are too restrictive at the moment. Then again, those restrictions were on Medco-14 forms and that mainly applies to employment. Too bad even a physicians referral won't keep most employers from denying a job due to cannabis in pre-employment testing and subsequent randoms.

Day 21 (Fri) You'd think I would run out of things to do, taking advantage of the pain relief from RSO and the lack of scatterbrain feeling I get from pain pills. Cannabis in general allows me to really focus on tasks, and the oil extends that advantage for hours. Today I dragged out the pressure washer and power washed all my siding and decking wood. All this done without pain. I still have to take breaks, but they are spaced further out.

Day 22 (Sat) Was able to pick up a pretty decent size load of firewood. Pretty much found my limit on this one; dude had just cut down a tree and the pile seemed much larger than the picture on Craig's List. Jacked my pain up to about a 5/10.  Got it back down to a 2/10 by bedtime and took a final dose of RSO for the day and slept all the way through to Sunday.

Day 23 (Sun) Got up feeling like the day after a vigorous workout. Some minor ouchiness from doing more than I really should have. Added an ibuprophen 600 to the afternoon dose. All good.

Day 24 (Mon) Last full day using the RSO. Pain at 1/10. Pulled some weeds from my landscaping and loaded up some logs in the firepit. Stayed up late watching the fire and listening to tunes.
