After a terrible night of pain last night, things are slightly more bearable today - not completely mended up at least not excruciating the entire day.  I am able to at least manage the pain today, which I could not say last evening at about 9 PM...when I called my mom, who hadn't a clue what to do for me.  I didn't really want her to do anything (mainly because there is nothing to do with this but wait it out) but just wanted some sympathy.  Being home alone when sick or in pain makes it all worse.
