Started out bad, got better

I woke in pain, and had a shower, which was a bit humiliating for reasons I won't actually describe right now—maybe later. But a visit to the clinic, some radiation, and a visit with Dr. Usmani got me some additional medicines (yes, more damn pills and suppositories), which so far seem to be helping.
One of those pills is morphine. Yup, morphine.
I just took some, but I can't feel it yet. I'm hoping to sleep well for the first time in some time. We'll see.
