Shoot me now.Please.
This is my third day stuck at home. For some reason, my knee cap dislocated again. On Tuesday, I thought I was going to pass out from the pain. I came home, collapsed on the couch and didn't move for the rest of the day while occasionally popping way more painkillers than I should have. Yesterday, I had an appointment I really had to go to so I had to leave the house. Limping is NOT FUN. It's tiring. Every single step is painful and each walk feels endless.
I hate being hardly able to move because I'm always under stress and slowing down drives me crazy. Besides, my house is a mess and, if I'm stuck at home, I wanna at least be able to do some housework. But I can't because this implies moving and I can't right now.
To cap it all, the strong painkillers that I keep popping (the only ones that really work) are heavily caffeinated. I can drink as much coffee as I want, it won't impact my sleep; on the other hand, if I take just one pill that contains caffeine, I won't sleep for the most part of the night. It's a total lose/lose situation: either I suffer but I can sleep at night, or I heal the pain but can't sleep at night.
To summarize, I'm stuck at home, I can't do anything all day and I can't even sleep at night. This is driving me crazy!
Okay, enough whining.Better look at the bright side. Since I can't move, I can't do much but I get to catch up on some tv shows without feeling guilty for wasting my time watching tv. The other day, I even watched a dvd, which is something I hadn't done in months.It felt great, all the more as it was some West Wing.;-) Maybe I'll even write the letter I promised a friend weeks ago but never got to finish.
So I guess the situation has some advantages, but it'd better not last too long or I'll seriously lose my mind.
