No getting comfortable, no getting sleep, just burning, painful pressure. It was bad enough that the over-the-counter stuff barely even put a dent in it. At least my wife's family was cool about it and didn't give me any grief about skipping all the festivities - I just hid in the hotel. I have a reasonably high pain threshold, but bad sinus infections just knock my dick in the dirt.
Then, on the way back, the flight was delayed because of shitty weather in Chicago. We sat on the tarmak for 3 1/2 hours before taking off, and there was a screaming brat two rows behind me. THEN the plane had to return to the gate to refuel. THEN the joy of the flight itself.
God, what a horrible weekend that was.  |
Which is why I always try and keep a narcotic pill or two stashed away for rainy days like this one....when I had my stones they loaded me up with Oxycodone and Hydromorphone you bet you sweet nipple ring I put a few of those suckers away for "pain emergencies"
