Hi Dean-
Glad you are able to get out in the sunshine when you can. Here in the midwest we have had 2 days of blue skies and sunshine-a much needed blessing.
As for the pain meds. I have been taking darvocett for the bone and muscle aches for awhile now. After the first few weeks I did not have the side effects of being tired anymore. On the contrary, I actually felt more energetic. I can get around faster, and I sure get more done when I am not in pain. Go for it.
Have fun boot scootin around the neighborhood
