pain

I made a mistake. I went to the hospital to have the iron pins and wires removed. Everything went well (including the 10hour wait) so they let me go home. Before leaving they offered me some pain killers but I kindly refused them. I also didn't take the prescription for more pain killers. Cause, at that moment I didn't feel any pain.
But later I regretted that. Strongly.
Pain is a strange thing. They give pain killers after an operation (IV type). I got one automatic refill of them but when they wanted t give a new refill at night I said I didn't need it. Same in the morning. And indeed while laying still in bed I didn't feel any pain. Well, not much anyway not enough to use pain killers. But once I got up and walking and sitting on the bus the pain came on. Every bump in the road felt like a hammer blow do my knee. With every corner the bus took it felt like someone tried to twist off mu leg. While the train didn't turn as sharp and didn't bump that hard the rhythmic track bumps just hurt as much.

But, that was yesterday. Today it still hurts but much less. I cannot bend my arm or knee but I don't have to.
