Not sure where my bandage got to (I took it out because it takes up extra space) and I think I put my foil pack of drugs somewhere but now can't find that either - Note to self - Must find pills and return to day pack...

I'm not sure I would want to take Tramadol in a situation where I'm relying on my own wit. Last time they put me on them when I came out of knee surgery let's just say I was very comfortably numb
