Yay me for listening to the doctor for once and trying to be good! I was all healed in my nether regions as well and was cleared for light duty with regards to my shoulder. That was normally the time I got in trouble for not listening. Sure, after being shot, I’d pay attention to the doctor to make sure I didn’t undo all his hard work and end up dead. But now? I was free and ready to get back into the swing of things because I couldn’t do more than slow down my recovery. And if I pushed myself, what did that matter? It was military-idiotic logic. At first I’d wanted to ignore the painkillers and tried to leave without the prescription. Yeah, Jared and Dean weren’t having any of that. We worked out a compromise. I’d take one in the afternoon if I was hurting and a couple-hour nap and one at night so I could sleep if I was in pain. That didn’t mean I didn’t bitch about it all the way home.
