Day 221: Pain Resistance

Written on 8/9:

One day after extractions and I haven't taken a hydrocodone the whole day. There has been discomfort and I suppose some mild pain but nothing compared to say cramping pains. In fact, I think it would be wise to save the remaining pills for such cramping occasions. The pain I have now will not be the kind to wake me in the night but I am all too familiar with that breed of ache.

I wonder why the dentist prescribed me anything or at least so much. I even have one refill I could do aside from the 32 pills that already come in the bottle. It there a rule saying the first bottle has to be empty before you can refill it? I'm just saying...at 54 cents a bottle, that shit would be nice to have around. Maybe that's why the doctor prescribed it; he saw I wouldn't wuss out on pain by going all hardcore with the extractions so he trusted me with the gift of pain liberation.

Again, I haven't taken any today. I think the two I took as I was going to bed was too much, they made me feel tired as I was waking up and the whole day I have been kind of low energy even though I still ran errands and drove to Arlington to meet with a friend. In fact, I even dodged detection by this annoying guy I use to go to school with. He was exiting the art studio I was waiting in front of for my friend. I turned around quickly and hid behind my car so he wouldn't see me. But he was talking to someone and the two voices were getting closer, and it was reaching 100+ temps so I made a dash for it, kept my back to him, and scurried behind the main building as I couldn't get inside being a non-student. Then I had to wait around the corner like a loser for him to leave the parking lot.
