Don’t get me wrong, It’s bliss. I don’t have to feel the pain of a broken rib. (Well, I still feel some pain, but it’s certainly not as bad as yesterday.) I just never thought that NSAIDs combined with narcotics could be this strong.
Ugh. I need to sleep (i.e. pass out) for a while.
Scott, I’d say you certainly need to sleep for a while! But doing that while loopy on painkillers? Well, at least it gives your body time to heal while you sleep the sleep of the blissfully pain-reduced!
(I’d say “pain-free”, but I don’t think you’re anywhere near that stage yet)
A strong narcotic wallop is probably what your pain needs, though… so remember that the drugs are helpng! (though I can’ say the same for the lucidity of your dreams while looped out on them…)
so, Scott, just how much DO you plan on milking a crummy busted rib?
