Scrappy, my sympathies to your coworker. How awful.
Today is one of those days where I really wish Liv still took an afternoon nap.
Patron: That girl is a witch. Mal: Yeah, but she's our witch.
'Safe'
Spike's Bitches 45: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.
[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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Oh, Scrappy, that's terrible.
And erin, I wonder if pain management has caught up to what pain medication can actually achieve. It seems to be so hard to get professionals to buy into shit, even to work out what works.
Oral narcotics don't do much for me. The amount I have to get IV means they usually hook me up to oxygen and have me on various monitors--if they actually believe my specialists and give me that much anyway, which can be a battle.
So no addiction for me, although my pain requires pretty regular medication. Just less than before. In between, I need Ambien to sleep through the pain. Luckily I don't seem to get the side effects anymore, although they were pretty wild and wacky there for a while.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I was told to take two whole Xanax to relax me for the last cortisone injection into my back.
Oh, yeah, and I've taken Valium when I've had to get my eye zapped (not Lasik, long story) but it didn't do what it was supposed to do, which is calm me down and reduce my nausea enough to keep me from almost fainting.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Scrappy, how awful. One of my coworkers had a 1.3 baby this fall and life is just so terrifyingly fragile at that stage.

I had Valium before my LASIK. I could totally get used to it.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I had Valium both times before they did icky stuff to my eye. The Valium was about as fun as the eye thing was not....

I look more rad than Lutheranism
I had Valium before my LASIK. I could totally get used to it.
Cash, do you think that some people just have addictive physiologies? It would make total sense to me.

I had codeine cough syrup during the plague last year and that stuff was faaaantastic. i'm just not getting the vicodin and oxy. maybe it's just that it acts on different parts of the brain and i'm not susceptible to the stuff. much like my poor younger cat is not sensitive to nip. poor dude.
eta: *sigh* i am so ready to climb back into bed and sleep some more.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
The thng I really loved was flexeril. Although it also may have been the reduction in pain.
My deceased cat, Mr. Kitty, seemed to react to the nip like it was opium. He was so blissed out, he looked like he should have a cat sized hookah by his side.
