Percocet is my friend

Today the pain is much worse than yesterday, which I didn't expect. I didn't sleep too much during the night. I tried to go to sleep at about 11:30. I slept until 2, then woke up and watched some TV. I should have taken a new pain killer when I went to sleep around 3, but I decided that I was doing okay and didn't need to. Then I woke up about 4:45 and the pain was INSANE. It felt like my leg was enormous and throbbing. Ugh. So I took a pain pill and watched John Cincinnati On Demand and finally went to sleep when the sun was coming up. I slept until almost 8 and woke up with my leg KILLING me. So I now it has hurt all day, I am not sure if it just hurts more today because all the drugs the hospital has given me or if it hurts more because I missed that pain pill and now I am playing catch up. No matter what, it is quite uncomfortable and I don't feel like I can find a position that takes the pain away at all. My friend Jason Carvalho brought lunch over to my mom and I. Italian Store....mmm, so fabulous. I ate half a small sandwich (most food I've eaten since coming home) but it took over an hour. It tasted great though. Then I took a nap.

I woke up to my mother on the phone freaking out. One of my older sister's, Abby, fell at work today and broke her elbow. She is a teacher during the school year and works as a waitress during the summer. It was just an accident and she had someone step backwards and she slipped on the floor. Being a dirt poor teacher, she needs the money. She is now unsure how she'll pay for her bills if she is casted up to her shoulder. She doesn't know if her work will pay worker's compensation right away. Poor Abby. Being one in pain right now, I don't want anyone else going through this. I just talked to her and she seems to be in pretty good spirits. Maybe she'll get enough worker's compensation that she can enjoy her summer and lay out.

I feel real doped up right now. I am nauseous...I hate feeling sick to my stomach but my pain is better.
