Not that I needed it, but I've gained a new respect for people who are in pain. This AM I quit my pain meds, and am facing only a mild throbbing pain through my arm and elbow, weakness in the shoulder. I recently had days in huge throbbing pain, having trouble walking, keeping my eyes open, and not making noise. I took drugs when able.

Today I'm in far less pain but also not taking the drugs. It's hard to work though the pain is far less than it was.

Can't imagine doing this all the time. Looking at you Kim. Wowzers.

Curious discovery - video games distract, possibly more than drugs. Hard to say as I mixed the two.
