You are right about there being no instructions... in the box there is a postcard with a website on it to go to to activate the phone, but he never bothered to go to it. He also didn't set it up right, which is done by prompts on the phone itself, and he never backed up his old phone correctly, so his current data and settings never transferred to the new phone. It was just an epic fail on his part.

Yesterday was the day from hell. I had several errands to do (including grocery shopping) and was out for about three hours, which is WAY TOO LONG for me. Everywhere was mobbed, and I was in no mood for it all because I was in a lot of pain. My last stop was the pharmacy, where I was told my pdoc called the 400mg gabapentin pills I needed to my old pharmacy, which is 15 minutes away, and they couldn't transfer the script because it's a controlled substance now. I had no choice but to drive there to pick them up, and I was not a happy camper.

My left hip and shoulder were really hurting, I assume from laying on my side on the couch all day Thursday. When I got home I finally broke down and took one of those Diclofenac pills (prescription NSAIDS), and fortunately this time it didn't tear up my stomach, and it helped a bit.

I smoked again last night, and I slept through the night. And I didn't wake up until almost 8am, which is amazing!!! I feel much better this morning

I have no plans to go anywhere this weekend and couldn't be happier about it
