PAIN PAIN PAIN

[unixronin]

Yesterday, I was scheduled to have a phone interview with ITA Software.  The engineer I was supposed to talk to was out sick, though, so they rescheduled for Thursday.

This is probably a Good Thing™, because yesterday was a Bad Day™.  I was in severe pain and pretty much non-functional almost all day.  I managed to cook and eat supper, but after supper (and after cymrullewes rubbed my foot and knees with arnica gel) I executed a tactical withdrawal in the face of superior forces, took two Vicodin¹, and went to bed early with a book.  It turns out that even two Vicodin now has little effect, but it did take the edge off the pain enough that I was able to eventually sleep.  This morning, things are better, but still much more painful than has been typical lately.

In addition to all the usual pain, I seem to have done something painful to the top of my left foot, the visible indication of which is a small red swelling, and the top of my left thigh is tender and painful -- I don't know whether I've managed to pull a muscle, or whether there's an infection in the lymph nodes there.  I'm going to have to keep an eye on it.

I am so very tired of this.

[1]  This is actually a prescription that was issued to me after the last surgery on my left little toe.  At the time, I didn't need to take any of it, because the post-op pain from the surgery was less than the normal pain level from that toe before the surgery.
