Pain from top to bottom

Today was not a very productive day.

I did go watch/coach my son in his latest tournament. (he won)

I also met with a college funding advisor only to find out that there is not much he can do to help me.

Outside of that, I spent most of the day in the horizontal position.

Yesterday, I briefly mentioned that I had dental surgery. Well, today my face is swollen and my head hurts. I am trying to take as few Vicodin as possible.

All I want to do is sleep. And it has not been peaceful sleep. It has been the “hold your head between your left bicep and right hand to counteract the pressure on the inside” kind of sleep.

And to top it off, I feel like a horse has kicked me in the tailbone. I have no idea how or when that happened but every time I stand up, I wince in pain audibly.

It is amazing how I discover how much I take for granted whenever something goes wrong in my body. I have never even thought of being grateful for being able to stand up without pain. I just stand up. However, now that there is a problem with one small muscle, that simple act has become a very painful challenge.

Anyway, my two youngest are off to the school prom and my wife is at work so…zzzzz
