Solution, please.

A few things to say.

First of all, I managed to land myself a job at a local mexican place. It's a fast food job, meaning lots of standing and lots of moving. We all know what that means for my back.

So, knowing this, I took my hydrocodone in advance today. That got me through my shift, no problem. The problem happened tonight, when I decided not to take a second dose for when I went out to karaoke.

I was fine for the first couple hours. The pain came on slowly, almost so I began to ignore it. However, it has grown into a beast which I can hardly deal with. I barely kept my composure at the bar, and certainly lost it when I got to my car. The drive home was torturous, as well. Even sitting here is pretty bad.

I guess tonight is an example of exactly how bad this gets. Especially when I choose to bear the pain. I've said before how much I want a solution, and this just cements that so much more.

So now, once again, I wait. For relief, and maybe some pain-free sleep.
