Wow, pain hurts
About 2 weeks ago I went in to urgent care to get looked at for what I thought was an ear infection. Doctor said that I had something called TMJ. Um, OK, whatever that is. I went to my normal Doctor and he said I had TMJ too, I should see a specialist. Cool.
Went to the specialist and found out that he was in a near fatal accident the day before. No one knows if he is going to make it. No jokes, nor would I intend for humor here. I sincerely hope he makes a full recovery as he is said to be one of the best in his field. My best goes to him and his family.
I feel like a jerk because I’m in a whole lot of pain and really need to get to a specialist, so I’ve made an appointment at another clinic for this Thursday. For once in my life I can honestly say that I can’t wait. I can’t remember the last time I have felt pain this bad, it’s horrible. I can barely chew meats, and trust me I’m no vegan. Liquid diet for me.
Actually, it hurts so much that I let Cariann give me Tylenol PM to help me sleep, and for those who know me know that I *hate* taking medication. It’s not a statement or anything, I just don’t like they way they make my body feel. I’ve not been able to get a good nights sleep in about 2 weeks now and my body is starting to wear down because of it which feels worse than the meds. Hopefully this new clinic will have whatever it is I need and I’ll be able to get back to my normal schedule. I’m excited about a few things going on at Technology Evangelist and really want to get some of that stuff back on track, which I can’t do when I’m dozing off and only able to concentrate on the pain.
For those wondering, yes I am writing this blog post while trying to ward off the sleeping effects of the Tylenol PM. The Tylenol is winning this particular battle. Heck, I have no idea what I’m writing anymore. It’s fun. Painful but fun.
If you think pain hurts, try love.
and if love hurts, then go straight for the drugs
So, did you get fixed yet or are you still in pain?
