6.5g at 8:30. Sleep OK. Woke up 7:30. Lots of noise outside. I think I’m starting to tip back to shit. I felt like I needed more kratom today. Took more, and I still barely feel it. No improvement so far. Maybe later in the day like usual. definitely better waking up today than yesterday. Not sore and stiff. Maybe the table is like the brace: it only played a tiny part. The real improvement came from the tolerance break. 6.5 hit me a touch strongly, but faded hard. It really just made me a bit spaced and tired. Still didn’t get any better pain relief. Went to Walmart and it hurt, just like usual. 11:30 and I’m ready for more meds. I think I’m past the honeymoon phase from the tolerance break and the table. Just did short walk. Slow at the end. Painful. Trying some games now. Had a long walk. Went to dad’s for dinner. It was rough at first, but got better. Had an ice pack on the whole time. I was just thinking on the way home about the next day off. I really need to do this once a week. But it takes more than a week to get rid of the sting of untreated spine pain. The table hasn’t offered anymore relief of any kind. It needs to be combined with kratom consumed after a tolerance break. I’m not looking forward to making it through another day untreated. I couldn’t have done it this morning. I’ll think about it tomorrow. I’m only on 6.5g, so I have wiggle room, but it’s not really helping the pain, so.. Another long walk. Painful toward the end. Oh how I miss the days of the 4 mile walks. Pain is kind of bad now, but I can deal with it because of the kratom. If I took today off, I would be a mess right now. Not looking forward to the next day off. It’s such a huge difference between a 7 and an 8. Local or central. It changes me so much mentally. Put the table back to 30 from 45. Did a longer session. Felt a good pop.
