I Don't Know What to Do

[pdub]

I don't know...I leave you guys alone long enough for me to go to work and back for a DAY, and the next thing I know, y'all are all talking about car stuff AGAIN, nothing but car stuff.

On a hotrod forum! Just don't know what I'm gonna do about that.

Peewee you know better then to leave us unattended for a whole Day!

This thread was my last thought of the day on the way to the Horizontal Rest Rack yesterday evening. Not that I've had a single structured thought since taking that half of a pill a full week ago now. Another thought, why in the world do people kill each other over drugs like that, so they can take them for "fun," or because by now they're so fried they think they need another one? Geez.

But anyway, the thread title and statement didn't actually come from me, it came from Unit. And I think I've typed it here before, but can't remember because....there's the after effects of that one half of a global nuclear chemical pill kicking in again....

One day a while back I was computing and Unit asked, "What are the BangShifters up to?"

I said, "They're talking about cars."

She said, "Imagine that, on a hotrod forum."

Okay, carry on. That's where that came from.

When you are in pain, those pills sometimes make life bearable..
Example, today I took one to wake up and get moving instead of wobbling unsteadily for 4 hours, then after about 2 hours, I took another and cut/split/loaded half cord of oak .. Sitting here resting, debating another to take my shower or just grimace and hobble thru.. I know when the pills wear off, I'm gonna be in pain.. And not able to do much of anything...

I'm sure they have their purpose. And everybody's wired different. I know I'm wired different. The BIG ones affect your brain receptors. They sure don't work on the condition that is causing the pain, they disconnect the receptors in the brain that interpret pain.

I'm just not wired right. Case in point - I was given a cortico(?) steroid package of pills to take when the local veterinarians in SC couldn't think of anything else to do. So many people have always said they work so well to alleviate the pain. Not me, the pain was still as bad as ever and I lost my vocabulary. For weeks, I couldn't carry on a conversation because I couldn't think of the word, "the." I still can't spell as well as I used to, that's gone.

In my 20's I had Joe Namath lay-your-knee-wide-open-with-a-big-knife knee surgery, I woke up DURING the surgery. That was awful. And after that, in recovery, a doctor told me when I was screaming in pain, "If we give you any more morphine, you will die."

So that drug doesn't work on me. But most others do, to an extreme. OTC cold medicine makes me pass out for 8 hours. I have to be bad off to take it, and I'd better be lying down when I take it because there I'll be for quite a while.

The hydocodone set a new record, though. 12 hours is a personal record for drugged-unconscious. And I'm not kidding. One (half of a) dose, a week later, I'm not over it still.

My friend at work gets a headache with the blue ones, he likes the yellow one better...
