Awake

It is about 1:30 in the morning on a Tuesday, and I'm awake. Why am I awake, you might ask? Am I doing another all night session of Sim City 4? Did I stay up late watching a really good movie? Can't stop chatting with all the hot babes online? No, unfortunately, it is nothing quite so nice. Plus, if I were playing Sim City, I wouldn't be wasting time with this post. Instead, I'm awake because I have an incredible pain in my chest. Broken hearted, you might think, but again, not quite. Try bruised rib/strained muscle. I've had this for, oh I think this is week three now. It comes and goes somewhat, but just about the time it starts to go, I do something to make it come back. This time, that something was a sneeze. Not really a sneeze, actually, as that would have probably caused even more pain. It was one of those sneezes that you start, but then have to stop. This one let me in writhing agony. I've been taking 2400 mgs of ibuprofen a day for it for the whole time, and still no help (that's per the doctor, before anyone freaks out). Right now, though, I've taken the last to hydrocodone pills I had, in a desperate attempt to dull this enough that I can get to sleep. It has had only minimal effect. While the rest of my body feels rather drugged, and my mind is drifting a bit, the pain in my chest is still going strong. So strong, in fact, that I'm still awake. Why am I posting this? Well, I figured that I was awake at 1:30, I might as well get online. I am hoping to find something on here that will help me drift off into dreamland.
