lime and chile fritos. vanilla coke. two and one quarter hours to go, maybe less. accomplished two major things today, three if you count working a full day when i had all the reasons in the world to stay home (well, except the reason of need. i did not have that). i have felt, variously, annoyed and enraged by any nubmer of current events recently, which i lack the energy to drag over here and tear up. there is no unfulfilled need for that sort of thing left anywhere anymore anyway. unless there is.
little devil on the left shoulder whispering about the pain pills in my purse. he thinks one would be good. he tells me without a trace of irony it would not hurt. and there is almost a need. well, no, yes, there is. that's decided. good.
i am not unhappy with the way things have turned out.

(and it's only minutes to going-home time!)
your pain pills and my pain pills are in cohoots aren't they? i hate the fact that i need to use them because i know how addicting they are and can clearly see whay they become the drug of choice. but damn! they make me feel good. is that a bad thing?
mmm. well, yours are so much more intense than mine. i've been on vicodin any number of times for various things, and i know that getting off them is, well, you miss them, and let's face it they are fun, especially for those who like to catch the buzz (as i have been known to do). but i also think that since medicine can relieve pain, it should. it shouldn't be about minimizing the dosages so you're just keeping the pain at a bearable level.
i think pain relief should be as total as possible. that being said, i went all day till almost three today before taking one, until the pain built up, and i focused on the pain and said, is this bad enough? and yes, it was.
it's important to listen to your body and be honest about the need. .also, with an injury like yours, it's important not to rely on the medicine to make you able to do things that will impede your recovery, like overdoing it.
pain meds are a big subject. i may have to compose some thoughts and do a whole post on my philosophy about pain and medicine.
You felt well enough to go to work, so that's gotta be good, right? Take care of yourself,
