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.
No studying? Damn! Next thing they'll tell me is I'll have to eat jelly doughnuts or sleep with a supermodel to get things done around here. I ask you, how much can one man give?

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

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
They gave you a tramadol shot, but not a prescription for oral tramadol? Fucking ridiculous. But I'm glad the shot has kicked in.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
sj, would your doctor give you a scrip for a few Percocet if you asked them? It's unconscionable to leave you in so much pain.
If it's legal you ought to be able to get it online, shouldn't you?
AFAIK, it's 100% illegal to ship cannabis in the mail. It's "decriminalized" in VA which just means you don't go to jail for a "personal amount", but it's still not legal to sell it here.

No. New doc who I haven’t seen in person yet. I’m seeing her Wednesday. They gave me a shot of tramadol yesterday too with no prescription as well. And no one asked me what my pain level is.

Jesus, sj. That's awful.
How far from DC do you live, Zen? There's some legal yet tomfooleryish way to get it in DC, I'm told, and now you can actually have it in VA, so... I have no medical need for it, but fuck if there aren't days when I want some anyway. Or so I believe. It's been a while.

I know everyone is overwhelmed with Covid. So I’m trying to be kind.

Thrive to spite them
sj I'm sorry you are in pain. I hope you can figure out some better pain management.
So I have forgotten to take some of my doses of my antibiotics (it's 3x a day, I fall down on the middle part of teh day) but I am going to finish it. I did take an over the counter test this morning and it showed very faint trace amount that could mean infection so I'm going to retest on Wed and see how I'm doing.

There's a particular CBD lotion that is a miracle pain reliever for me. Painless X by Resonant Botanicals If they can ship to you, I recommend it. It helped so much while I was healing from the back spasm nonsense last year.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I use a THC vape to go to sleep. Not legal here, don’t care. It’s NOLA, so I could probably stand on my stoop and say “who’s holding?” and have offers in seconds. As it is my friend’s boyfriend deals. One cartridge has lasted me well over a year. It helps with pain and short-circuiting anxiety thought spirals. I’ve also started burning incense every night as part of my sleep hygiene, so at 45 I am apparently going full hippie. No patchouli, though. NEVER PATCHOULI.
Laura, I totally assumed it was elder son when you were first talking about the issues! It’s hard for me to picture younger son being such a brat. I’m so sorry.
sj, may you get relief soon.

I love the smell of patchouli! My hippie sister (eldest) used to burn incense when I was a wee one and she was... a teenaged hippie burning incense. Because she liked the smell. Mmmmm-hmmmm.
Anyway, love patchouli.
