My regular painkiller is dihydrocodeine, which is milder than Vicodin but apparently quite similar. It doesn't have any interesting effects for me, except for sending me to sleep a fair bit. Now, codeine, which is apparently weaker, makes me completely nutty. I avoid that. It's a bit weird.
ETA: Aims, nice grades!
Congrats, Aims!!
I took Vicodin after my shoulder surgery, and I don't remember much about how it affected me. I don't think it made me too loopy. But it's still fun to say "hopped up on Vicodin."
I wrote to the rice pasta people to find out where to get their stuff.
Aims, awesome grades! I hope the surgery goes super smooth and easy.
Ugh. Head still hurts a little. Stoopid yummy beer.
That's a better grade point average than I graduated with, and I graduated Cum Laude.
edit: I think that's Summa Cum Laude territory.
Stoopid yummy beer.
Sean, you left your Homer Simpson tag open there. Let me get that for you.

They transplant the parathyroids?
Yes. You have 4 parathyroid glands--2 on each side of your thyroid. They actually sit directly ON your thyroid. They will remove the parathyroids and transplant them into your neck muscles somewhere.
When I had my surgery done, on one side of my thyroid, I was so lumpy bumpy that they couldn't find my parathyroids. The other side was really underdeveloped (like the size of a raisin) and they could only find 1 parathyroid. Which they transplanted.
I ended up with some complications because of that which I'll tell you if you want, but I don't want to go into if you've already talked to your doc about them. It's not horrible, more inconvenient, and fairly rare.
And, congrats on the grades!!!!
Final grades are in: 3 A's, 2 A-'s. Graduating GPA: 3.93!!!
Confirms what we already knew. You.Are.BRILLIANT! Congrats!!!

Flashback to my sisters graduation, and my father pointing at the program and snickering how his daughter "cums loud". Ya. I come from a long line of childish perv's.

I dunno. This being a BtVS forum, shouldn't there be some "foamy" reference here???
Everyone was telling me horror stories!! I don't know what to expect.
This is where the internet is bad. Because "huh, I had that and ... nothing interesting happened" is not going to be the top hit on a Google. The one time in a million someone had their wisdom teeth out and was abducted by little gray men who were a little too probe-happy? That is the one people click.
I has a new permanent crown. I want to make some Avril-esque comment about being the motherfucking princess but mostly I am just wishing I had anything to eat. This has nothing to do with food textures. It's mostly due to my lack of grocery shopping.
