I'd rather not have the drugs

I really hate being crippled right now. I want nothing more than to go to the ocean and with the upcoming holiday I have the opportunity to do that or go camping or doing a wide array of things outside of my urban confines. Unfortunately I can't. Everyone thinks that being injured is great. "Oh you get all kinds of fun drugs though!" I for one never really understood the "fun" in pain medication. I'd rather be healthy and out having fun than sitting at home doped out of my mind. This is just really depressing...
