that sucks about the game selection.
my father drug me out of bed, and made me go with him to walmart to get my mom a bluray player (ps3) for xmas, and needless to say it was the worse decision ever. I never should have tried to help my dad get it, as i am in worse condition than what i was before. Stupid me, I know, and I deserve it.
My dad, dropped me off in the front while he went to find a parking. I was hunched over almost folded in half trying to maneuver around the crowded place, kept getting hit by baskets driven by fat old ladies with bad attitudes and wife beaters on. managed to get to electronics, just to find out they had the consoles in the jewelery section, behind their counter. walked all the back up to the front to jewelery to find the lady handing out the purchase tickets walking away. I yelled at the top of my lungs and the lady turned around. I asked for a ticket, and she said they may be out. I said, I was only getting one ps3, for my mom, and i am in severe pain and cannot go anywhere else to look for one. So she gave me a ticket.
I went to wait in line where jewelery was and collapsed just as soon as my dad walked up to me. I am man enough to admit, that I shed some tears, and was in severe pain. I ended up moving to the side and found an empty basket to lean on and put all my weight on it, which relieved some of the pain. A cop asked me who was securing the place if I needed medical attention, and I explained my situation, and he called me a dumbass, and said I should be in bed, and I agreed with him.
But in the end, my dad got the damn ps3 (last one in building) and a big guilt trip thrown on him because of the pain I was in. All this and I still wasn't able to get an xmas gift for anyone on my list.
It sucked that 3 15mg Morphine Sulfates and an 800mg IBUProfen, didnt ease any pain.
All in all, stay in bed if you have a screwed up back, and do not make it worse.
