vicodin and me

This is a post I started writing a while ago, and put off finishing for ages because describing bodies is hard. A lot of things have changed since I wrote this, but the basic premise hasn't.

The whole post is full of ableism (including internalized ableism). The fourth part also contains cultural appropriation + racist exoticizing.

1. ( My back aches )

2. ( The first thing my mom said to me when I mentioned vicodin )

3. ( It takes me thirty minutes to get into bed )

4. ( ... and I threw out all the narcotics )

5. ( I wake up the next morning and I feel a little bit better )

6. ( You need to tell me whenever you get a prescription for opiates! )

7. ( I'll take some tomorrow )

8. ( This clinic does not prescribe narcotics for any reason. )

9. ( I take vicodin. )
