(Realized I was wayyyy behind here).

sj, speedy recovery~ma! I'm sorry you're in pain.

{{{Laura}}} This is heartbreaking. I am so sorry.

askye, I hope you're doing better, too.

And hi, people I haven't seen here in a while!

Yeah, what Steph didn't not say.

Hi Shir, nice to see you as well!

Teppy, I live in Massachusetts.

I’m home in ton of pain. Following up with my new pcp on Wednesday and I have a call into an orthopedic surgeon. Have I mentioned that orthopedic surgeons are my least favorite people on the planet? They see a patient with SB and rub their hands with glee at all the surgeries they can try.

Teppy, I live in Massachusetts.

Why did I think Rhode Island? I bet because DXM has been on my mind.

Well in that case, get you some edibles.

I did live in RI then I moved in with TCG 14 years ago. I’ve been I MA ever since.

I’m just afraid of going to get them and having an asthma attack from the smell but I probably should risk it.

Do you have Med Men? In my (not that extensive) experience, they're the ones the memes are talking about when they say dispensaries are like the Apple Store. I don't remember any issues with smell or smoke there. The other dispensary I've tried (San Diego specific), the smell was a bit of an issue - never set off my asthma. It just stank.

Oh, crap, sj, that sucks. I'm sorry, for the injury and the pain and the stupid lack of good drugs. If you can get your hands on some edibles, it might help.

Epic, I'm starting to sound like a pothead lately too. Recently my niece gave me some "special cookies" *cough cough* to try to help my anxiety, and they really did. But they also stopped my awful hot flashes. Like, stopped them, made them not happen. I never expected that! So now, having been uninterested in pot since I broke up with my hippie boyfriend Jacques in college...

give me a moment... ah, Jacques...

now I'm a middle-aged woman needing a reputable dealer in a college town, and really. Just no. I've found full-spectrum CBD oil works, it just takes so fucking much of it (because there's <0.3% THC in it) the cost is ridiculous. I'd rather buy the real thing, it would work better and probably cost less. But while Virginia has decriminalized pot, that's not the same thing as being able to just go buy some, and so far everyone who has assured me they can get me some has mysteriously not followed through.

Reefer Madness is what happens when you're try'na get some dang reefer and you can't and you get mad about it

If it's legal you ought to be able to get it online, shouldn't you?

The tramadol shot just kicked in finally, and I guess I should enjoy it since I won’t have any good pain relief after this.
