Today isn't going well

David is in a lot of pain today. He had a dose of pain medication at 9am and has been restless and holding his head in pain since 12:15. He isn't allowed any more medication until 1pm and it takes about an hour to take effect after that. I feel so bad for him. At this point though I can't do anything else for him. It's going to be a very long day around here. Because he isn't feeling well, he's been very easily irritated with David and really can't tolerate much crying from either of the boys. It's pretty hard to avoid when he's on the couch in the central room of the house. Our place just isn't big enough to get the kids away from him. :( I may brave the heat and try to take a walk with the kids to give him a break after lunch.
