having a normal day here

@swilua

PCP Checkin: "Have you traveled outside the state? Do you have any loss of taste or smell?"

"No. And ... uh... well I haven't had either of those in like 2 years, so... "

@swilua if the normal amount of pain is zero, then fucking fix me

Alternatively: I defy you to show me a statistically significant sample of the population of this country that experiences no constant or recurring pain. And then, once you've failed to find it, ask yourself why that is.

@swilua side note: I think my doctors know better than to tell me there's a normal amount of pain, because the only place I've ever heard that phrase is on Mastodon. I'm not sure whether that's a good thing.
@swilua back into spasms yesterday. Pain? Anyone have any heavy drugs, it’s that bad! Didn’t even do #wordle. #octordle. #quordle. #squardle. etc today. Back between the sheets, self medicated and praying for some sleep tonight.

@swilua Me: exhales loudly
Husband: You okay?
Me: Yeah, just breathing through it*

*pain I have had off and on for over a year and a half
