What i do while i'm in pain

Yesterday i was in lots of pain in the afternoon and evening/night. I got a couple of plays i had ordered in the mail. I was already reading Clybourne Park, but that was upstairs, and i was in too much pain to go upstairs so i read one of my new plays i got in the mail, called "Wit". "Wit" was also nominated for a Tony for best play this year but lost to Clybourne Park. I read the 86 or so page play in about an hour. It was sad, but really good. I just couldn't put it down. It made me temporarily think of my pain less while reading. I also listen to music a lot while i'm in pain. The key is when i can to try to distract myself from the pain. However, when the pain gets super bad, its hard to focus on something like a book.
