My regular dentist gave me a script for [something related to oxycodone]. I filled it, because it's good to have in case of emergency, but never took it. I ended up throwing it away, when it expired. I hate to take stuff.

BOGGLE! Pain is BAD! Pain meds are GOOOOOOOD!

Kristin, I'm thinking about all of you down there.

Pain is BAD! Pain meds are GOOOOOOOD!

I'm with Cindy here -- most prescription pain meds' side effects are worse for me than the pain. I'd rather be sore than vomiting any day.

Me too.

I took exactly one of the pain meds I got for my tooth infection/root canal (I think it was vicodin), then gave the rest to Cass. Stuff made me feel gross, and the pain wasn't that bad.

I am a great big wimp who will now back slowly out of the scary S&M room....

I hardly ever take pain meds. Whatever they gave me when I had my wisdom teeth out wouldn't stay down, and I even forget that, say, Motrin is an option when I have a headache most of the time.

That said, the Percocet my doctor gave me in the E.R. a couple of years ago was very nice indeed. Everything was just fine for a while.

This must be so hard on all of them, and on you, because you're probably in the Other-Families-Are-So-Different Zone, too.

This. I feel completely impotent, and I hate that feeling. I hope I'm at least making it all a little easier for Drew.

Pain is BAD! Pain meds are GOOOOOOOD!

Which is why I took 600mg of ibuprofin last night after I slipped on the kitchen floor and slammed to the ground. Cass, Drew says I'm beginning to rival you in terms of needing a padded hamster ball.

Hiccup.

When I got my wisdim teeth out- I forget what they gave me too but I went through it in half the time I was suposed to.

I slipped on the kitchen floor and slammed to the ground.

Oh jeez you poor kid! How's your back?

I'm a bit banged up, but I'm rather stunned at how much pain I'm not in this morning. It could have been a lot worse. Mostly I just feel foolish. Oh, and I have a shiny new bruise on my thigh.
