to my friends

hi, i got some yuckky news on monday.  on friday i have to have some major oral surgery. some bones have to be shaved and a joint replaced in the jaw..the dr said it is from grinding my jaw while on coke.  anyway, when i stopped the pills i said i would never touch them again....i told this to my dr.  his response was you will have to take them a week maybe more, the pain will be unbearable with out them.   i cried but he said its not going to change you have to.  my husband said he would hold the pills and give as needed.  i finally agreed to 3 days and no more.

anyway, i am sorry guys.  i will have my 90 days on thursday and then wham....i dont feel like i can be as effective helping you guys if i am using, even if it is as prescribed.  i am so sad.  i love all of all you...and this site for me has truely been a blessing.  i will still be around and watching out for you all.   ill let you know when i get home it went.

love ya'll
cathy

You will do fine!  You are too knowledgeable and have come too far to let those things get a hold of you again.  You will be in pain - just take as directed and stop as soon as possible and you'll be great.  Don't look at this as a setback!!

It will be ok Cathy, The more you get yourself upset the less your body can fight the pain and mend itself. I've heard that if you take the pain med's as it is directed that 1 week won't do harm but any longer will. Thank god ur husband is there to help. We will all be on pins and needles so let us know how Fri gose and keep us posted. We are all here behind you and praying.
