I broke my nose on Saturday night, got punched in the face without provocation by some agro deadbeat freak at a house party. It was pretty messed up. Anyway the hospital told me to go see an Ear Nose and Throat doctor on Tuesday and gave me a few Vicodin pills for the meantime. These really made the meantime bearable, comfortably numb as Pink Floyd would put it.
So today I went to my appointment at the ENT and he patched my nose up with pliers and tape (one of the most painful and traumatic experiences of my life). At this point I was feeling faint, nauseous and weak with pain. I pretty much begged him for something to ease the pain and he prescribed me frickin Tylenol.
Tylenol??? After three days of Vicodin, Tylenol doesn't do jack ******. In fact it makes things worse. Why? It doesn't get rid of the pain AND I can't drink while I'm on the stuff, so I really have no way of numbing myself. That's really what I need while this heals up. I had to go home early from work today and just lie down because of it, and now I can't sleep. I just wish I had a few more vicodins. Just while my nose heals up. I broke my hand a few years back and they gave me enough to last a week. And that was fine. But this isn't. I feel like I'm going crazy. I want this pain in my face to go away and I don't want to think about being attacked anymore. I just want to feel good again.
I know these things are addictive, but I really feel like I need them right now.
