Life in late capitalism can be vexing, alienating, fragmenting, and otherwise frustrating. There are many wonderful things in my life, but I'm more likely to talk about what's bad rather than what's good. I'm going to try to post one good thing here each day, and if you would join in by adding a good thing from your day in the comments, I'd love it--I'd absolutely love it. --RR
9/13: remembering
My pain situation is much better than it was a year ago, and much, much better than two years ago, but I still get flare-ups. Today I was feeling quite bad--it's kind of astounding that that had become my status quo. And then I remembered: I have medicine! I took it, and two hours later, I feel the relief. I know it sounds silly to forget that I have a remedy, but I got so used to bearing with it, and I also grew up in a house where we didn't take medicine that often, so it doesn't rise up in my mind as an obvious recourse. Hopefully next time I'll remember even sooner.
Glad you remembered and glad it worked!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sandy! The medicine doesn't work for everyone, so I'm especially grateful that I'm someone it does seem to help.
