You got all kinds of learnin' and you made me look the fool without tryin', and yet here I am with a gun to your head. That's 'cause I got people with me. People who trust each other, who do for each other, and ain't always lookin' for the advantage.

Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Pain meds next than cat scan and follow up with an orthopedic.

Our wings are not tired.

Did they suggest a sling or anything? I'm so sorry, sj.

Oh goodness. I hope they find you some relief.

Aw, geez, sj. I hope the meds give you a respite from the pain. Well, and that ortho follow-up and scan can shed some more light on the issue.

I have a sling now and am told to take Advil and Tylenol. I have been given much better drugs for much less pain. I have never been in this much pain in my life.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

I feel like I'm coming across as a pothead lately, but is medical marijuana legal for you? I swear it was the only thing that even touched the pain of my frozen shoulder last year and I've become a convert.

It probably is, but I can’t smoke it because of my asthma.

I was thinking I should clarify that. I've never smoked it in my life. When the pain was at its worst, I had a tincture, a lotion/rub, and edibles. My workplace is technically zero tolerance, so I never took edibles in the office, but I did sneak in the rub and the tincture. Now I just do occasional edibles for back pain or for anxiety. I mostly stick to gummies, though I got some cookies last time I visited. I stick to very low THC, since the high is not what I'm there for. And I mostly take them at bedtime ('cuz it seems like THC makes me sleepy).

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Oh, sj, I'm sorry you're in so much pain and they're not helping you.
