I've actually never given any other way except through an IV. People are usually pretty nauseated after surgery and we don't give any meds by mouth for a little while to avoid the nearly-inevitable vomiting.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Some idiot tree trimmer knocked out the power on my street a couple of hours ago, and I'm freezing! I want my heat back!

I bet some alien parasite has embedded itself in the tree trimmer's spine and is controlling him as part of their plan to take over the Earth.
Well, that would be as silly as someone growing back his hand.

Hmmm...instead of doing homework, I'm uploading videos that I took on the trip with my new camera. It's so fun!

sending you warm thoughts Kristin
I have been pondering my stash of the good drugs, because I'm having to have a tooth pulled Wednesday and I can't take nsaids until then. As far as I'm concerned, tylenol is just a cruel joke, particularly for arthritis.
My stash of leftover Percosets and friends is very comforting to me too. I usually end up taking 4 or 5 a year, but somehow it's easier to deal with pain if you know you have something that will make it go away. Codeine and its relatives don't make me particularly loopy; they just make me feel like all's right with the world. They also keep me wide awake. For me, the evil drug is morphine.
I kept a stash for a while, after my surgery. It was comforting, but I threw it away when I moved. I kind of miss it, but I'm kind of glad I don't have it, too. Plus, don't they go bad?
Ok. This is my favorite video (or part of a video) that I took on vacation--Seals vs. Sea Lions: [link]
