With the removal of my wisdom tooth, I am reminded again of why I like Vicodin: it gets rid of the pain, doesn’t make me nauseous, and just makes me slightly sleepy.

I woke up with a massive migraine after a night of random awakenings due to tooth removal pain. Unfortunately, my migraine meds are all at work — where I left most everything on Monday. The migraine quickly escalated into a barfing and blinding pain. That’s when I decided to up the Vicodin dosage to see if it could replace the missing migraine meds.

It worked — at least it made the migraine more manageable, and I was able to (fitfully) sleep until I got rid of it. I was able to rejoin the land of the living around 3pm today.

I know this has absolutely nothing to do with creativity, unless you think along the lines of creative pain medication. It worked, the brain pain is gone, and the tooth socket is doing OK, too.
