I tell you, having a broken ankle is one hell of a painful way to gain Workman's Compensation, but I'm thankful that I broke it at work. I thought I would be getting shitty compensation checks, but they've actually been quite generous. I got myself a new 19" monitor, a DVD player, Radeon 9250 video card, speakers, a couple games, an SVideo converter so that if I feel like being spoiled I can play the computer on my TV (rofl), and a few other lightweight luxuries for my broke ass. I got Rhea some shoes and an iPod and some crafting supplies and whatever else her spoiled ass gets. She's been treating me with ultimate TLC since I've been stuck in bed. Well, she treats me with ultimate TLC anytime, but she's been right on top of things helping me and it's much appreciated.
I just hate that I'm almost always stuck here in bed and the pain comes whenever it wants to. It doesn't care what I say. It's going to hurt when it wants for as long as it wants. The meds don't do much anymore except put me to sleep. I need my sleep anyway, but my hours are all fucked up. I'm awake at any given time and asleep at any given time. Lately I've been awake through the night and sleeping at fucked up hours.
Luckily I can still drive, but I can't be out long. I get nausious after so long and I have to climb back into bed and rest. =/
