You're useful and I like you.

(Parentheses! It's the damn parentheses! I knew it couldn't be right, not with the minus I had in them!).

Also, wow, lots of dictionary usage in math terms.

First night I made it through without waking up and on only one Percoset. It's a start, although I was really sore when I woke up first thing.

VH-1 still shows videos. Who knew? I think I'll be watching movies today. I have Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day and Bull Durham at the top of the queue.

And Hil, I'm glad your presentation went well and that you made it home okay. Also sorry that people suck so about simple human courtesy.

Miss Pettigrew is fun, Barb!

As far as PK's go, I took Lortab/APAP for about 3 weeks after surgery; I have a pretty high med tolerance. Ultram is a good suggestion -- it might make you a touch sleepy, but not so looped. I can take TYlenol with codiene all day long and have nothing but a mild bennie over plain Tylenol.

Either option might be worth trying. Don't be shy about trying to make it through, too. My doc was all "Sure!" when I refilled mine the 2nd week.

ita, HAVE you tried Ambien? Will it not go with your meds. I know quite a few people for whom Lunesta has been of the laugh. Only sleep med that is worse is Rozeram.

Bull Durham

I finally saw it in it's entirety a couple of weeks ago!!

I pick up my Chantix tomorrow and start taking it Wednesday.

Good for you, Aims! I hope you kick the habit quickly.

This is a serious question, not a snotty one...have you ever worked with Terriers?

Oh, yeah, that trick probably wouldn't have worked with Frank back when he COULD hear perfectly fine. He was the Great Ignoro! Fortunately, he never ran off into traffic. He did run off into the woods though several times when he was a young guy. And he would always come back when he darned well wanted to no matter what I did.

Good luck Aims!

It's so funny how my massive dosage of Bupropian (Wellbutrin) has finally, FINALLY completely curbed my desire to smoke, 9 years after I first "officially" quit.

Thanks, guys!! I'm excited it's covered by my insurance - only a $20 co-pay!! It was total impulse to ask my doc for the script on Friday when we met to go over initial test results. I figured to myself, "Hey. Jackass. You have enough medical shit going on without having to throw it badness from the smoking, too." My doc was so excited, he jumped up and hugged me.

Good Luck Aims! I think that might be what my brother is doing now. I'll check with him.

Brandy can't hear me anymore and she does what she pleases including walking out in the street if I don't grab her. She is very slow so I am able to catch up with her. It is scary because she can't hear cars coming either!

My doc was so excited, he jumped up and hugged me.

aww! Good luck with the quitting! Hope it is unexpectedly easy for you.
