Pretty sure "Vicodin" is Valyrian for "milk of the poppy"

Even Ned Stark succumbed to the power of Vicodin/MOP

Vicodin = milk of the poppy (MOP).  This is the conclusion I've arrived at after spending the last week sprawled out on my couch completely incapacitated.  Pretty much spent Monday through Thursday in my living room, blinds closed, doors shut, computer off...I was a prisoner in my own house.  Opening up my laptop and trying to internet gave me an immediate raging headache - it was a blogging nightmare.

I actually rallied and was able to fire off a single email on Wednesday to Cobb letting him know the "J&N blogging explosion" was not going to happen...then I quickly turned my computer back off and fell asleep.  And its not like I was abusing this stuff - I still have half a bottle left.  I'd take 2 pills before I went to sleep and 2 in the morning...and I was zoned out for the rest of the day. 

Typically I'd start watching a movie, then fall asleep/wake up/pass out again so often over the next 2 hours I couldn't remember what part of the movie I had actually seen - or thought I'd seen - and I'd have to rewind over and over.  I may have watched "Immortals" 4 times in a row and not realized it.  Apparently I had a conversation with my boss on Monday morning that I have zero recollection of and he said I was slurring my speech.  All in all, the whole experience seemed eerily similar to the situation Eddark Stark found himself in after almost losing his leg (was it his left leg??) and was forced to drink MOP for the pain...weird dreams, incoherent babbling, and total isolation from the outside world.
