A Quick Update
Well, I still can't move. At least not more than to go to the bathroom and getting up to post this quick update. The muscle relaxer is doing nothing. My neck is still locked and I can't sit up on my own. The Percocet is not killing the pain in the least bit. I've now taken 3 Percocet (5-525) tablets this morning along with my non-functioning muscle relaxer and surprise, surprise--- zero effect. I tried to get in to see the spinal surgeon guy but he's booked till mid-October and he'd be an out of network doctor on my insurance anyway-- which means I can't afford it.

I'm going in to see my regular doctor this afternoon to see if there's a different muscle relaxer that will at least um.... actually "relax" my muscles. I know he's going to think I'm full of shit that nothing has worked. The doctor in the ER could hardly believe the nurse when she told him the morphine didn't work, "It's been 45 minutes and the morphine didn't work... No, she is still in pain.... No, she definitely is. I can tell by looking at her face...." I just really didn't want to spend the weekend bed-ridden in agony but it seems like it's heading in that direction.

So for now, I still can't move, but just feel incredibly doped up and still in the same amount of pain. :(
