I got out of the hospital yesterday. I was admitted into John Stroger, Jr. Hospital (formerly known as Cook County Hospital made famous on ER) Tuesday night for a jaw fracture. I was fucking around horseplaying with a friend and slipped on some ice and landed on my fucking chin. Now I have partial numbness in my tongue, chin and lower lip and the doctor says it might be permanent, he's not sure. I also have a metal plate and two screws holding my left jawbone together. And to top it all off my mouth is wired shut for the next six weeks. (I am expecting an onslaught of snide remarks about me not being able to open my mouth so go on and get them out of the way early on, k? thx)
When I came out of surgery they kept pumping me full of morphine, which I kind of liked, truth be told. Didn't feel shit. But now the morphine is no more. They gave me a bunch of shit to take home with me. I have (everything liquid) Ibuprofen, penicillin, some kind of pharmaceutical Listerine (shit is pretty fucking strong) and a big brown bottle of some shit that was loaded with codiene. I poured the codiene down the drain and tore up the refills because I know I have an addictive personality and don't want to become dependent on that shit. Now I'm kind of wishing I hadn't done that because everything fucking hurts. Really fucking bad.
Ouch.
