Like a Kite

The pain has persisted for the whole day. It's my herniated disk pain, right at the base of my back. It hasn't radiated at all, so it's very localized. It still hurts enough, though.

I took hydrocodone about an hour and a half ago. Since I haven't been on it for a week, the high is a lot stronger than it has been for awhile. My lips are numb, my mouth is dry, I'm kind of dizzy, and I'm euphoric. The euphoria is the reason why people abuse this stuff. As for me, I prefer to have my head not so high in the clouds. Oh well. The pain is mostly gone now.

I had to go out to buy several things today, and I'm very grateful that one of my good friends came with me. He has been a great help to me. He's also agreed to help me carry my full laundry basket down to my car tomorrow, something for which I'm eternally grateful. One thing that has made me very happy is the generosity of some of my friends. I don't know if any of you read this, but trust me when I say that your help means more to me than I can fully express :) Thank you so much, if you are reading this.
