02/16/01 12:15 AM: Gotta love this. It’s 3:00
Gotta love this. It’s 3:00 AM and I am sitting here at the computer because sitting in this chair is the only position I can get into that is the least bit comfortable. My leg started hurting last night. I wasn’t sure how or why it hurt. The pain just seemed to have come out of nowhere. I went to sleep in the vain hope that it would feel better in the mornining. Goddamn, was I ever wrong. I’m no medical expert, but it feels like my upper leg bone (femur?) is out of joint or something, like a dislocated hip maybe. The pain is excruciating. It hurts to walk. It hurts to stand. It hurts to sit. It hurts to lay down. There is no way I will be able to get back to sleep. I had been worried about trying to convince my mom to let me skip the last ttwo periods of school today. Now I just wish I could stand up to get to school. I think I shall be paying a visit to the doctor or the emergency room in the near future. I’m scared. I’ve never been to the emergency room before. In fact, I’ve never been to the hospital but as a visitor. I don’t find myself at the doctor’s office very often, either. I’ve never really been seriously sick. I tend to just let things go away on their own. But I don’t think a dislocated hip is very likely to relocate itself on its own. I’m scared that the only option I will be offered is to have someone pop whatever is messed up back into place. I’m thinking that is going to hurt a bit. But I suppose a few moments of really, really bad pain is better than hobbling around in really bad pain for the rest of my life. This is not the way to start off the day.
