I know what you mean...this has to be tackled so diligently 24/7.
Man, have you come a long way(from 200mg/d)....
....it's overused but it so applies to me; that one is too many and a thousand(ten) is not enough..
percs, yes, you couldn't be any more right, it sucks, I hate it, but hey, atleast Im doing incredibly well compared to a year ago.
Alex, ive been a huge sox fan all my life, and every year they just let me down, it sucks. do you mind me asking what your husband does? Milford is very nice, so aren't the surrounding towns, holliston, Medway, I like the extra land........
My husband's company makes semiconductors for stereos, amplifiers, and just about every other type of audio equipment you can think of. Probably some of his company's components are in your stereo, VCR, DVD and television. There company is based in MA, but the fab where they make the semiconductors is in the Bay Area. So, we go back and forth--usually 2 weeks here and 2 weeks there. We'll probably spend more time here now, though, because we just bought this great new house (it's the biggest place I've ever lived!--I'm a city girl and grew up in small apartments). I love it here and I love SF. I like going back and forth. I teach classes for a university all online, so I take my work with me where I go.
About the Sox--my husband feels as you do. He has season tickets and every year, he gets his hopes up high and then they let him down. He says it's always after the all-star game. I am not that jaded yet, I still have faith in the sox. I know that one of these years they are going all the way . . .
It is also in my nature to root for the underdog.
too funny, the sox....... they just can't do it, I don't know why, but they can't, god its awful. Semiconductors, there are a few companys locally that manufacture/distribute semiconductors. The house sounds great, any kids? that class sounds great, my college was all about being online, by my senior year (2001) we also attended class via video confrencing (sp).... that looks completely wrong. Anyway, how long have you been sober, or are you still fighting?
I have been busy and back on the vics. Oh well. I feel bad, but I am under so much stress. I didnt run to a vic today. I ran to a valium. I'm starting all over.
My best friend had surgery on her hand on Tuesday. Prior to that her doc wouldnt give her any pain pills so I would give her one or two every now and then, vics. So now her doc put her on 7.5/325? Lortabs. They look just like 5/500 vics but they have little blue specs in them. What's the differeance between them? Her doc also gave her a couple of oxy's (10). She offered and I SAID NO :-) to both. I have never taken them and everything that I have read here leads me to beleive that it wouldnt be a good idea to start on those too. When I started to cut back on the vic's before and I was getting mild W/D's she felt so bad because I had given her some of my pills and now she wants to repay me. I told her if I needed them like me vomitting and the works that I would take one from her, but that she needs to concentrate on her pain. She is such a good friend.
I really feel that I have things under control, gwh. In the past 6 weeks, I took vicodin only one weekend--it was the weekend we moved into our new house and my back was so screwed up. Coming to this site keeps me on track. I think I will probably continue to use medication when my back is really bad. Usually, I control the pain with motrin, yoga and meditation, but sometimes it's just too bad and I can't handle it.
I don't have any kids =( I'm trying to have a baby now. Perhaps I would have earlier, but my life was really screwed up for a long time, and then my 1st husband died of an OD when I was 28. I stayed single for a long time, but met my beloved husband about 3 and a half years ago. We got married this summer. He's the most wonderful man I have ever known--no one has ever treated me so well. We want to have a baby, but no luck yet. I am looking into adoption, but I don't think I can because I have arrests for prostitution and drugs from when I was a junkie. *sigh* Most of the time, I feel my past is where it should be--in the past, but people will still judge you when they look at your life (and you can't really blame them when it's about kids). Who knows, though--I have a lot of faith. My husband would make such a good dad--he loves kids and so do I. I'm a wonderful Aunt, though--I dote on all my little nieces and nephews.
