pain

When it comes to pain, I am known to have zero tolerance, and right now I am in pain! How do I tolerate it, I don’t know!
I remember Dr. Vaisaiwala for my childhood days and his little pretty packaged pills, often color coordinated. I hate pills and syrupy meds the most. As a child, I would take them out back on the balcony at Fidvi Mahal and toss them.
I was an expert at tossing them…until I got caught.. that wasn’t fun at all, got yelled at by Mana Auntie and Abbas was not far behind taunting me. Those were the days, even in the torment of it all…it was fun! That was it, from then on any pills or meds..my mom would monitor them like a hawk or stick J on me to make sure I would take them and not toss them.

Here today when I take my hydrocodone, I choke for a minute and swallow it painstakingly. It numbs the pain temporarily but gives me this lethargic feeling. I don’t like it. Shari asks me often to share the love…I kindly response by saying…”I am counting them when I leave..” LOL :))
