I guess it is true i will have to be on some type of pain medicine the rest of my life. Not the worst thing that could have happened to me. But yes, i am always well aware that i have a spine and that is starts in my head!! and i should say its effects end in my toes!
I actually had a great day today pain wise. It has really been a pain to try to stand up straight. I am not sure if i am standing up straight or not, but it hurts either way.
Tim and I went out to Best Buy and it didn't hurt walking , then i bravely went across the parking lot to Bed Bath and Beyond and was fine. I took percocet at 6am , then dilaudid at 12 noon and nothing since, i usually feel the effects of anything wearing off after 4 hours. It is 7:40 now and still good. Maybe it has to do with laying down or sitting reclining from 5pm yesterday until 4 this afternoon. Almost 24 hours. I feel like i just got home from the hospital with those hours. I was just exhausted. Still feel tired.
And i am back in bed! School tomorrow though. The start of medical billing.
