Thank you, Silverback! I'm continually feeling better as I proceed away from Day 1 and the acute withdrawal symptoms lessen, which is wonderful. I'm getting more energy - I managed to spend four hours walking at the mall with my friend yesterday, which isn't a lot, but at the same time, isn't something I think I could have done on the day before that. So I'm definitely improving.
I'm also feeling better overall, physically and mentally, than I have in a while. The worst part is that I didn't even realize that I was so...slowed down...by the painkillers. Everything literally looks brighter and more crisp. Also, there's a faint smell of chlorine in the air (like the smell of the air at an indoor pool), especially when I go outside, which is kind of weird, and which I'm currently putting down to my nervous system being Confused and Alarmed.
