Between having an appointment every single day this week, and getting the nerve block yesterday, and still being in pain, and being doped up on the meds they gave me to deal with the pain, I really don’t want to be at physical therapy today.  I’m only here because they penalize you if you cancel too many physical therapy sessions, and I don’t want to cancel any so early on in case I really need it later.  Oh and also sleep deprivation from the extra dexamethasone I’m taking to stress dose because of all this.  So all I really want to do is curl up in a ball and disappear, but it will be hours before I can even lie down, or whatever I do that most closely passes to ever lying down (which isn’t very much like lying down, because aspiration risk). Oh and I think this is roughly a seven on the pain scale.
