keep the pain meds coming

my doctor warned me that when the stuff they injected into me at the hospital wore off, i would start to feel it. i just didn't realize how much i would. this morning... was bad. i woke up from serious pain, the whole leg was burning and throbbing and i could barely even get myself onto my crutches to get to the living room to pop in some of that extra-strength vicodin. vicodin pretty much has no effect on me, but this extra-strength stuff... is wonderful. at least the pain level is tolerable now, vs. this morning when i couldn't stop crying because it hurt too much to even lie still. i managed to get myself back into bed and the meds did enough to let me sleep a little more.

it still hurts like mad, and i'm in a serious more amount of pain now than i was yesterday, but if it's at this level that i'm at now, i can somewhat deal with it. so i gotta keep that vicodin flowing. i need to leave some by my bed b/c it woke me up into a crying fit early this morning.
