piss off! give me that morphine!
give me morphine or give me death!
egads,i've been in pain relentlessly lately,as i've hardly slept in four days. can't sleep because the pain is too much. can't take ibuprofen or aspirin because of my stomach. does this mean i'm doomed to have no escape from pain the rest of my life? i honestly don't know if my stomach will ever heal from the damage done to it by high dose short time ibuprofen dosage from two years ago.
i called the dr's answering service to have the on-call doctor call me back. i was hoping there might be something by that could be prescribed for me for pain. so he called me and basically said there isn't anything else for pain. great! he recommended the old towel over the head/hot water/menthol thing. yeah,either that or stay in the shower all day. so how am i supposed to sleep then?
i don't know why but this has been really really painful. it's probably a good thing i'm living alone so no one else has to deal with my moaning, whimpering and crying over the pain. on the other hand,it would be nice to be pampered but i'm pampering myself as best i can. the hell with the to-do list. i have sooo much to do,and yet i need to just concentrate on continuing to breathe. the net is a good distraction anyway.
for some strange reason that i am not going to complain about,the pain is a little less intense at the moment.
last night when i was lying in bed not sleeping for the third night in a row,i felt like i was gonna die. lack of sleep hurts your head too,if it wasn't enough that i have this sinus pain.
i guess could learn some pain management skills. it must be so hard for folks with chronic pain. i don't know how they do it...i feel like such a wimp.
i'm practically euphoric at the moment because of the slight lessening of the pain. it's sort of like when you have to go to the bathroom really bad. when you finally get to empty your bladder,i swear little happy hormones of relief are released!
