On sunday i feel off a horse. it hurt. i went to the ER and had pelvic xrays because i thought i broke my pelvis or hip. x rays were clear and i was sent home with a bottle of vicodin. didn't go to work on Monday. went to work tuesday and wednesday basically because i had too. awesome. its kinda hard to treat other people when you can barely stand on your own....
last week, i thought it was really hard to listen to patients talk about their back pain and headaches that they have suffered with "for 20 years" [how someone can have a headache for 20 years i have no idea, but apparently you can]. This week, i found it impossible to listen to the same complaints when i could barely move. It was an interesting position to be in as I tried to console a lady for her mild neck stiffness after 'sleeping on it wrong' while i sat there trying to cover up the fact that i could barely move, because when i did i wanted to die. it helped to focus on the vicodin i had waiting at home for me.
