All Drugged Up

After a day of suffering, and a night of excruciating pain, I needed to see a doctor. My dad took today off work and called an orthopedic doctor. I was able to somehow magically get a last minute appointment. I was nervous all day. I didn't know what to expect. We were in the waiting room for a while then I went in. After a couple xrays, the doctor spoke to me. I had apparently strained my neck pretty bad. He gave me a few prescriptions. I'm currently on Oxycodone, Litocaine patches, steroids, and Valium. After taking an oxy for the pain, I see why people get addicted to it. It makes you feel happy, out of pain, and borderline drunk. However, I'm happy. I can actually lay down without being in pain. I have to continue the medications until Tuesday (4 days). On Tuesday, I'm doing a followup appointment to see if I need physical therapy for it. I'm so fucking fragile.
I had to call Jeff too. I can't work. I'll see what the doctor says on Tuesday, but until then, I'm out of commission. He was understanding and asked if I was OK. I was afraid he would be mad. So until further notice, I can't work. I have to bum around my house all drugged up. Bambi is coming over tomorrow. He's going to keep me company while I stay around the house. Hopefully it'll be fun. I don't want to be in pain. I also don't want to get all loopy on oxy. Ugh. Fucking neck. Oh well. Let's hope my neck stops being a bitch.
