Congratulations! I believe joy and a sense of achievement help make pain go away. I've been helping an actress friend overcome a Vicodin addiction. Her doctor is gradually weaning her of it, slowly enough so her neuroreceptors atrophy. (Quitting cold turkey doesn't stop the addiction.) She gets a week's prescription, and I deliver a single day's supply each morning. That started at five pills, and now it's three. Vicodin can be a hallucinogen, so enjoy the fun while it lasts.
Patricia Abbott is the author of more than 125 stories that have appeared online, in print journals and in various anthologies. She is the author of two print novels CONCRETE ANGEL (2015) and SHOT IN DETROIT (2016)(Polis Books). CONCRETE ANGEL was nominated for an Anthony and Macavity Award in 2016. SHOT IN DETROIT was nominated for an Edgar Award and an Anthony Award in 2017. A collection of her stories I BRING SORROW AND OTHER STORIES OF TRANSGRESSION will appear in 2018.
She also authored two ebooks, MONKEY JUSTICE and HOME INVASION and co-edited DISCOUNT NOIR. She won a Derringer award for her story "My Hero." She lives outside Detroit.

Congratulations, Patti! You tell a mean story. I'm wondering, too, what'd have happened if Tom hadn't taken Pirate along with him.
Hope you are feeling much better now.
