Proceed with caution Amber. Is there someone that could go with you to your appt?
Sara...
I can ask my man...he is on vaca this week...he may be willing if he doesn't have someplace to be...the appt. is early enough friday morning...good idea. thanks.
I would take him along. That helps us be honest with ourselves and the doctor.
Walk that line ever so lightly! You are super strong. Look you even quit cigs!
Tell the doc. sara is right!!
Terry
Remember the reasons that you quit, and know what triggers a relapse. I will not see a doctor right now for fear that he would prescribe something for me. Not interested but also don't trust myself with barely a month clean....we will prop you up!
Clean
Hey sweet pea.. Don't set yourself up for relapse.... Take whoever you need to to
"getter done".... then... just be 'done with it!"
You guys are freekin awesome...can't i just put you in my pocket and take you all? LOL.
My man will go with me...he doesn't completely understand...as he is not and never was addicted to anything. But, because I asked him to go with me to 'keep me honest' and he wants to support me, he will go with me. and just him being there will help tremendously...I'll have to tell on myself...cuz he'll be sitting right there!
MrClean...believe me..I'm nervous about going and thats why I'm here telling...and that's why i'm dragging him with me...but I cannot do my jobs properly with my hands hurting as badly as they do...I need to do something..and I KNOW that little bit of steroid he shoots into my thumb and finger work...they work awesome and for months...I don't need no stinkin 'pain pills'...they only CAUSE PAIN...
I need new hands :(
Thanks again everyone...
Queen...I sure will 'getter done'
Love and Peace

My appointment is tomorrow! I feel good. I know my man is coming with me and I know that after that appointment I am going to feel so much better.
and tonight I'll fall asleep without rehearsing in my head over and over again, what I'm going to say to the Dr. to get him to write me a refill!!! wahoo.
and my vacation begins in 5.5 days! wa-freekin-hooooooo
omg...I'm going on vacation CLEAN! egads. this is gonna be awesomistic!
had the appointment today...it went well. My man came along...as we were waiting for the Dr. I said "i feel like an idiot...cuz i need you here to babysit me" and he said, "nah, feel confident that you have someone who loves you enough to support you through the tough times"...
:) awe, aint he sweet...
I told the doc that she needs to put in my file no vic or perc for me cuz I abuse them! she just gave me a look of appreciation and nodded her head. :)
it went well. I got shots in my right thumb and left index finger...they still hurt but from what i remember it may take a day or two for the meds to work. I also cannot take any anti-inflammatories due to donating a kidney in a couple months...ugh. so, it's ice today...and heat tomorrow (after grooming dogs!) lol. i've got too busy of a life at times...I'm so glad to be going on vacation in a few days!
YOU GO GIRL!!!!!! Good work!! Make ya feel like a million buck dosen't it????
And you donating a kidney..... I think you are wonder women!!!
Terry
Great job on being honest with your doc. Glad your husband was there with you and is so supportive!! Hopefully your finger and thumb feels better!!! Your donating a kidney?? That is fantastic!! sara
yeah...i'm giving a kidney away in Feb....worried about the pain pills i'll get then too. already told the surgeon of my issue, he said he could put me on Ultram instead...hahahahahaha.
i think i'll go without pain meds. eff it. I'll survive.
thanks all for being there...i feel so very grateful to have you all and my man in my life.
