Yesterday, I decided to go to work. This would be my first time back since the accident. My wife tried to discourage me from returning so soon. I've been out over a week and feel that I can manage.
I felt fine in the morning, having taken a couple of Motrin pain killers. By the afternoon, the pain relief was non-existent. I was beginning to feel the pain throughout the right side of my body, limping a little more and losing some mobility.
Today, I called in sick. I needed to recuperate a bit and I have an existing doctor's appointment. This would allow my wife to drive me, instead of me getting behind the wheel again.
After going to see the doctor today, I was told that physical therapy is necessary. I head to the desk to make a future appointment with the suggested doctor and am told that I will not be able to see him until December 2 at the earliest. I figure I should be fine by then and would need to cancel said appointment. I really think I'll be over this by then. Of course, I thought I'd be fine by now.
On the way home, I picked up my new prescription of pain relievers. These should be better than the over-the-counter variety I have been taking since I didn't care much for my last prescription.
Anyway, I look forward to going to work again tomorrow.
Ride safe!
