Mood: productive but omg the weeping. I was fine and very productive all morning, and then I went to my physio. I asked him about the ibuprofen. When I stopped taking it, I was in so much pain and developed a three day headache. He said he wanted me to stop using it gradually. So stay at 3 x 2 a day for five more days, then go down to 2 x 2 a day for five days, and then go down to 1 x 2 for five days, and then go down to 2 every second day. I realised that my neck and shoulder problems aren't going to go away. I said 'I thought I'd be OK by now,' and he said yeah, a lot of people do. He said I might have problems for months, and that I will have 'good' days and 'bad' days. I cried.

I came home, and cried a bit more, but mostly did lots of work with Scrivener on Book 1. Book 1's suddenly a managable thing again, which is AWESOME. So Much Love.

My neck and shoulders were seizing up again and so I took some panadol on top of the nurofen, and my weigh in tonight is up a kilo. I bawled like a baby over John, saying how unfair this all is, I didn't even hit the other guy and it's totally not my fault and here I am taking drugs that interfere with weight loss and water retention and constipation and I haven't been coping properly and bawl bawl bawl.

Whitman's Sampler: I suggested, mid-bawl, that we open it and eat ourselves silly. John said "Mmm... no." and I was glad, because I don't really want to eat it. I just like having it there so I can deny myself. I've always been this kind of twisted.

So yeah. Despite being seriously productive, I just want this month over. Preferably without Claude's car crashing into mine. I wish my body would lose weight easier, and I wish I wasn't sick and sore and stiff from this and my knee. (Though my knee is getting much better.) I hate this. My back is out of kilter, I hate the headaches, and I want to get back into the wiifit. At any rate, it looks like I might be getting into the gym instead, which will be rather cool.

*loves* It does get better, it really does. I know how frustrating it is though.

I'm so sorry that it is all so frustrating with your body and all the work you've been putting in derailed by the accident. You are amazing and you are doing the best you can to take care of yourself - I wish it could go faster than the physio said it would :(

YAY for your novel being in manageable bits inside Scrivener though! I'm really delighted to hear that!
