I titled this post like I KNOW what to do on a high pain day. What I know is what to TRY: Pain killers of various forms (this always feels like desperation, which is why I only used five of the eight pain pills I was prescribed during the first couple weeks after my injury)…
“The more I read, the more I felt connected across time to other lives and deeper sympathies. I felt less isolated.
