What a Weaner

Welp, today is the first day of weaning down to one tramadol a day before getting off the stuff. LET'S DO THIS! It's the plan for the next three days with the three remaining pills that I have left, taking one every evening before bed.

So far I don't feel too bad... kinda prickly and a little bit dizzy on occasion, moments of light headedness and about 23.5% clumsier than usual*. My body's had a fairly potent cocktail of pain relief rocking through its system for the last four months, trashing the place and not doing the dishes. So I don't blame it for being all like 'waaah gimme back my toys!'

Oh, and aching limbs. Kinda feels like the onset of a mild fever, really. WHINE, WHINE, WHINE!

In other news, it looks like I may be partnering up with another mentee. One of the mentors in my group is looking at going overseas, so we're meeting up tomorrow for a chat and stuff. Her mentee is really cool and enjoys nerdy games like Magic the Gathering so I suspect we'll get on just fine.
