Percosets and Valium and boy can I tell the instant they wear off. And even with it, the involuntary noises that come out of me with the slightest move. I'm so lucky I have a nice wonderful friend who's stayed with me the past two nights and brought me food. I always thought people with back injuries were hypocondriacs but shit, when you can't move for this long, only a day and a half, without lightening bolts of spasms that alone could do damage, it's crazy. I hope I can walk and possibly drive in at least a few more days.

Heat is working. Any advice? This is absolutely crazy. I've never had anything this dangerously painful before. I am just glad that the muscles that are punishing me seem to be wrapped around my spinal cord or something. Possibly to protect it? I have tried to stay away from goodle. The muscles and disks seem to worry me much more than the cracked bones. I dunno why they're making me wait for a MRI. Weird stuff!

Hard to type on my side too. But at least I can, when I can see from the drugs. I needed 18 hours a day of sleep though, anyway, I'm sure.

Any creative ideas from someone whos been there? It's all lower like a few bones above the tailbone but the muscles mainly. Bathtub out of the question.
