My addiction to pain medications is progressing nicely. The back pain is returning, not quite as crazy as before, but it's there and kicking. Fortunately John Paul did not need to use the pain-relief Rx that followed up his tonsilectomy. I'm looking for the right mixer to tone down the heavy cherry syrup... Grenadine and tonic might work. Maybe Triple-Sec, gin and crushed ice. Something is bound to work.
