Hey!
Thanks for the reassurance re: this board. I'll try to chill. Maybe it's the addict in me, but I'm one extreme or the other, can anyone else relate to that???
Javagirl, thanks so much for asking about the pain meds. I'm doing o.k., but it's a struggle. They recently upped my meds without my even asking, I found that unusual??? These are pain meds specialists. Of course I didn't say no when they upped them - it's almost as if they did it to make themselves feel better - if that makes any sense. The Dr. had said that if the bone was still broken, no way would I be able to walk on it. Well, I'd been walking on it for 2 years. It just wouldn't heal, even after a bone graft. I happened to have a copy of the latest xray in my purse and I gave it to her, thats when she upped me. I almost felt like she's the professional, maybe I do need more. At least they'll last longer I told myself. I do have a bit of a plan in place. A good friend, who lives over an hour away, has agreed to hold half for me. She thinks I give some to a friend of mine, which I do sometimes - but this friend pays them back when she gets hers once a month. The friend who's holding half has no alcoholism or drug addiction in her family. None. I don't think I've ever known anyone who has no alcoholism in their family. Is there really such a thing???? Hopefully, her holding half will work. I guess we'll see. Wish me luck!
Lola-
Good to hear from you again........I have missed seeing you around here.
I am sorry you have pain issues to deal with, that makes an addiction to pain killers very complicated.
You sound as if you are doing well though, I knew you would hang in there.
I am dropping on my sub...........My dr. has me on a FAST taper, so I am hanging in there. The lack of sleep drives me insane right now.......I am not sure if that is from the sub, or could just be me............
You take care of you, By the way email me anytime @ Javagirl1976@hotmail.com, I mean it. The nights get way to long when you cant sleep :) Would love to talk anytime.
Hugs.
