But before that, I have found yet another medication that is on my do not take list. My dentist gave me some great painkillers for the toothache but I found out last night that, for whatever reason, my stomach didn't like them and I spent a good part of the evening in the bathroom over the porcelain bowl reliving everything I had eaten in the past 24 to 48 hours. Peter stayed up with me until I was able to finally fall into a rather fitful sleep but each time I woke up, my stomach felt a little better. This morning I almost feel normal.

LunaCon was a lot of fun for everyone. Ariel went to panels and got to spend sometime with her cousin who she doesn't see that often. Caroline discovered that childcare at LunaCon involves all sorts of fun things for her to do including really neat crafts so she was good for the weekend. And I had 12 panels that I was on and got together with various friends for at least hello's.

I didn't sell anything in the art show, but I did amuse people so I feel that is a good thing. I have an idea what I want to put in there next year because I didn't see anyone do it this year and I think it would sell to this crowd. I met an Internet friend's mother who works the art show every year. The art show was really good but I think that is one of the better ones on the East Coast. I am always amazed at the amount of original art that I see. This year there was a lot more watercolors than I had seen before and the delicacy of some of the work was just amazing. The 3-D was diverse which is nice when there are not 20 tables of jewelry or boxes or statues to look at. It was a good mix and there was something for everyone taste up to PG-13.

I like the mix of panels I had over the weekend. They covered a number of subjects that I know well. There were only two that I had a problem or two with and that was more for one panelist or audience member than the topic at hand. I must have looked like a zombie on Saturday since I had that allergy attack and was barely functioning until Sunday morning. I even sent Ariel in to do one of the anime panels because it was a topic she knew and I needed some time to recover.

I did some behind the scenes last minute costuming for a group of friends. It was exciting to say the least. We are probably going to resurrect it later this year. It was nice getting to talk to people that I see probably about once a year at LunaCon. There was the usual gang to hang with in the bar. And there was a touching tribute to Rabbi Dave since LunaCon last year was his last convention.

I am grateful that I went to LunaCon this year.

Glad you had a good time at LunaCon but really sorry to hear about the reaction to the painkillers :(

And I *WILL* see you at NYCC, right Ms. David?

Was there coedine in any of the painkillers? I found out that coedine makes me hurl when I was prescribed Tylenol 3 after 3 wisdom tooth extractions.

I have not found a single painkiller, other than aspirin or ibuprofen, that doesn't upset my stomach. Including Aleve.

So any time I'm prescribed any analgesic that's *not* an over-the-counter, I ask to also be precribed Compazine. I take the Compazine half an hour before I eat, have my meal, and then take my painkiller.

I've never had to worship the porcelain goddess since I implemented that regimen. And I've been on some really heavy-duty ones like Oxycontin and hydrocodone after the hysterectomy and all through the leg injury recovery and subsequent surgeries.

I wouldn't cross your painkiller off your list just yet. Try the Compazine.

It was my first time at Lunacon, and I was constantly lost in the hotel, and so I never managed to see you, but I am happy that our girls had some play time together! I am planning to try and be on panels next year since i attended some this time and realize that they are not as scary as i thought they would be! :)

Hope to see you next time! :)
