Cliches

They talk about pain being a crippling thing or bringing you to your knees and, as always, cliches have at least a grain of truth in them, but in this instance I find them to be quite literal. My shoulder hurts so bad sometimes it makes my knees buckle. I can't explain it. I gave in a took a vicodin when Bob came home from work this afternoon. It was the nicest 3 hours I've had in a while. The pain was only actually gone for 1, but I didn't care for the 2 hours surrounding that one. I hate taking pain killers that strong, since they affect my mind as well, but the pain was nauseating. I have a really hard time coming to grips with this being the way the rest of my life will be.
