Yeah, I can see how it would be a hell of a lot more...confusing? for it to not be physical. Like, I can easily say "You hit me, I'm the fuck OUTTA there". But verbal/emotional abuse can be a lot harder to grok.
I think this is exactly how my brain worked at the time. He didn't hit me so it was a way tougher call for me to make at the time. It took a while to grok and then it was really, really clear.
! I can't even imagine. I mean...damn. I have several pairs that I don't wear very often, I admit, but they go with specific outfits or occasions (like my interview suit)
Shockingly? I have a couple of those pairs as well. I just ... don't get the shoe thing. I am damaged goods.
All right, damn it to hell, I can't figure out if this is just my creaky and increasingly wonky body, or if it's a side effect of the Cipro, but my back has been aching unbearably for about 5 hours. Not my lower back, but the area between where the waistband of pants (not low-rise) sit and the bottom of my boobs.
The thing with drug side effects is that someone, *somewhere*, at some point in time, has experienced every damn thing you can think of as a side effect of Drug X. And so "back pain" is listed as a reported side effect of Cipro. But I don't know if that's what this is, or not.
And I'm whining about it to my invisible friends because it won't go away -- I can't get comfortable, and it's not a back pain I'm familiar with (it's too high up), and I want to go to sleep but my back hurts too much to sleep.
This is when I'm seriously considering pulling out the percocet I have squirrelled away from my surgery. Bah.
Man, I hate the not knowing. I mean, you hurt no matter but it's just the need to know why and then know if there is jack shit you can do about it...
it's not a back pain I'm familiar with
Did you maybe pull a muscle?

Tep. maybe take half a Perc and a hot shower?
Erin, I was actually thinking that, only in reverse order -- a hot shower, and then if my back still aches, hit the drugs. Maybe just ibuprofen.
It could be a pulled muscle. I don't know what I would have done to pull it, but sometimes all a person has to do is sneeze to pull a muscle. Though I don't remember sneezing...
I've heard that the Hello Kitty poptarts taste *horrible.*
Yeah, but Powerpuff Girls oreos weren't bad....
I have strawberries, blueberries, and blackberries, and have sprinkled sugar on them....and baked an angel food cake. Except I don't actually have a big bundt pan. Only mini ones. I made 7 little cakes, and then gave up and threw out the rest of the batter.

Maybe your back's been Love Weaseled...
