Laurel & Hardy go to Sub doctor !

That will be the name of our new comedy sitcom.  The Sub doc is about an hour away on a little island. It's an artist community, so all the little houses are wildley painted. We head out this morning, with just about all withdrawal symptoms present. We didn't get but a few miles and had to go back because the runs have already set in............ We finally get there to find the doctor's office is in an art gallery. Just a little room off to the side.  The doctor seems nice, but she says she is not feeling well today.  So there is the 3 of us sick as dogs.    She lets us go in together.  Magi is in rare form and has the giggles. The doc asked a bunch of questions ........ what day is it  ...... Magi goes completely blank and can't seem to answer the simplist questions.  Do you have children .......Magi says no .......(today is Magi's son's birthday).  lol   So now we are cracking up, but this poor doctor is about to throw-up.   So off we go to fill our scripts for the Sub and are to return with them so the doc can give us our fist dose.  Doctor says let yourselves out and runs to the bathroom to get sick.  
  We get to the pharmacy( CVS) and they tell us there was a scheduling error and theres no pharmacist on duty. WHAT !!!!.......(what are the chances of this happening) They tell us one is in route and will be here in an hour or so. So we wait,mind you we are getting sicker by the minute.  Finally with pills in hand we head back to the art gallery/doctors office.  Shopper are now roaming around looking at the artwork. There we sit (on a hand painted bench) sick as dogs, waiting for doctor.   We happen to hear someone say  "OH she is so sick vomiting, she had to go home" The art gallery worker confirms this to us, the doctor has left.     WHAT !!!!!   (what are the chances of this happening)   So there we sit in the parking lot taking our first Sub dose.  
Well everything turned out good for us in the end. It cost alot less because doc got sick and medication was 300 less than we expected.  We have both take 4 mg and seems like that is going to work fine.    What a day !

It's sure a hell of a lot better than the alternative.  Hell, I even think so!  There's always something positive to be observed, always!

What a trip!  Sounds like something I'd say could only happen to me.  It's a much needed chuckle.

My doctor hasn't called me back, I feel like sht. Am going to try another 2mg of the Sub.  I took some ibeprophen bout an hour ago for the headache and that seems to be working on my head. Iam very prone to headaches & migraines, so it doesn't surprise me that starting a new med gave me one, I actually expected it.  Thanks for asking, hopsing.  hugs to ya

Laurel or maybe it's Hardy (or both?) are not feeling too well. They need to get a hold of their Dr! :)

On the drive home we were laughing so hard Magi could barely drive.  The doctor asked Magi and I to count backwards from 100 in increments of 7.  I think you could actually see smoke coming outta our ears trying to figure this out. ........brain overload...... Now I don't think addiction is our only problem.  We have definate brain damage. lol

OK..I think I peed myself. This is too funny.. and you kept asking "what are the chances". Apparently, they are very good..LOL

I am so happy for you both.

Just make sure you get back to the art gallery and work along with the vomiting doctor to work your program.

Hang in there ladies!!!!!!
