The Analytical Mind

There have been a series of storms this week which means I have spent more time than I like in bed with either an ice bag on my head or heat; whichever seems to feel best at the time. I tried to take fewer meds this morning so I could finish my paper which was a mistake. After being slammed upside the head with the Full Monty of Pain (tremors, weakness, nausea, bone pain), I was lying in bed analyzing the symptoms. Some of the thoughts going through my head, "how can I feel so weak while laying flat on my back?" "I wonder how I can feel internally shaky but not be moving" "Maybe the bones in my face will eventually just fall away from whatever is causing this". OK, there were drugs involved. I'm pretty sure my face isn't going to fall away. But sometimes I wonder if there isn't something wrong that we can't find like a bone infection in my face. Nothing should hurt this bad this often without some kind of Xray evidence, right? Wrong.
