time for professionals

so, my back was still in agony this morning. so i woke up, took some robaxical, and then waiting till it took effect before i tried to get out of bed.

so, my back had been bugging me since saturday and it was now tuesday. plus the idea of taking a gram of aspirin at a shot was kind of bugging me, and i was worried that there was some underlying injury here besides a muscle strain. so i went to cambridge hospital's ER and explained things and they hooked me up with some soma and celebrex. (i cannot believe someone is selling a muscle relaxant named "soma"). they said it looks like just a muscle strain, not some other injury in conjuction or masked by it.

i'm kind of pissed that instead of spending a bright warm sunny day in my last week of unemployement motorcycling around new england, i'm sitting at home nursing a sore back.

how's that soma working out for you then? It's real high on the FDA's diverted prescriptions list, so it must be pretty good.

okay. it's in full effect. it's not a fabulous high or anything, but i wouldn't want to operate heavy machinery right now. the relaxation is good, tho.

soma is the drug of choice for a lot of pro wrestlers, actually. It's apparently quite the painkiller/muscle relaxant.
