I am taking medicine for my injured butt...

Yes, I injured my butt. How? From sitting too long on the airplane. Isn't that lame? I am lame. I guess it is my sciatica (?). It felt awful on Monday. As if I had a mean kidney infection or something. But, thankfully it was just a nerve or muscle... that was injured. Anyway, I am supposed to be taking some muscle relaxers and pain medicine. Which knock me out and make me completely lethargic and moody. I was such a boring person for the last couple of days. Poor Shane.

Since I already feel better I decided to not take the medicine as prescribed. I don't have the severe pain from Monday, so I stopped taking the pain medicine. As for the muscle relaxer, I've decided to only take it at night. The bottle says 3x a day, but that is way too awful to endure. I can't stand myself. For Tuesday, and Wednesday, it was hard to get up in the morning. In the afternoon I took 2-3 hour naps. Then when Shane got home from work I was just vegetative and unmotivated to do anything fun.

So, taking the medicine at night will allow me to sleep through the dizziness, sleepiness, groggyness, moodiness and all that. I feel so much better now so I think I should be fine. Besides, they told me the medicine is narcotic and addictive. So, lets just say I am not taking any chances! Who wants to be addicted to that? BORING. UGh! Not for me.

You said it. Who needs narcotics!? I mean, who wants to be unmotivated and sit on a couch all day. I know, undergrads getting their first taste of reefer. Now you listen here freshmen, you listen real good! Dr. Shane says "Say no to drugs!" Even if a doctor like myself gives them to you. I'm a doctor, not a physician for goodness sakes!
