Pain Pain go away

So, I'm not feeling 100% at the moment. I went to bed as normal and now I am up in pain unable to sleep. I don't know what normal people think when they get sick, but for me I think of all the terrible things it could be. Right off the bat I think, it must be a ruptured ovary, gallstone attack, or infection. I never think just a stomach ache. The first thing I do when I get sick is to search for my painkillers, I don't take them right away but I like to know they are there if the pain spikes. The next thing I do is run a hot bath. I make it as hot as I can possible stand. After that I lie on the couch, for some reason when I am sick the last place I want to be is in bed. When I am in bed all I can think about is the pain and I hate twisting and turning in the dark. After a few episodes of Murdoch mysteries I usually try to head back to bed. Perhaps I over analyze things or worry too much but because I've had so many terrible experiences in the past I don't think I will ever be able to think of a stomach ache as just a stomach ache and I don't think I will ever be more than a few feet away from pain killers. Like I said I only take them when I absolutely need them but I find it comforting know they are there.
I sometimes worry about the effects of all the pain medication of taken over the years. I know its terrible for your liver among other things I'm sure. There have been times though that I have been in such pain that I contemplated jumping out a window so I guess there's no easy solution. Nevertheless I am off to try and get some sleep.

  1. I can be the same way when I'm not feeling well. I'm one of those people who jumps to the worst conclusion about anything, lol. I hope you're feeling better today!

  5. My days off weren't too bad. Jon came down with an infection in his leg (the usual), which always makes me a little anxious. It seems to be clearing up now, and he's feeling better, so that's all good!

    How nice that you can work from home! What kind of work do you do?

  7. Well, the antibiotics are a little hard on Jon's stomach, but the infection is cleared up. He's feeling well enough to go to work, and he manages to eat, so it all seems to be good at the moment. :)

    That sounds like a pretty cool job! Do you and Zane have any plans to come out to Hinton one of these days?
