The end of an era
I know, I cried on th way home a little...
I wonder if Blythe's will print out the "Twigs & Berries" INGO thread and advertise the gun for what it is . . . the most famous Ruger SR1911 known to man!Till someone else borrows Andy's gun. Who knows what will happen.
Does anyone have a Dr in the area they particularly like? I'd prefer to stay in the Hammond, Highland, Griffith area.
I think I'm gonna switch. I just want a guy that's decent and competant. Personable would be nice. And not a prescription nazi like mine. I was at my Dr almost in tears from pain and asked for some vicodin or percosets or something and he looked at me like I had a heroin needle haning out of my arm and told me to take some Advil. When I went to Ireland a few years ago I asked for some Ambien to help me sleep on the 12 hour plane rides and adjust to the change in time zones. He wrote me a prescripton for SIX. Six pills. God forbid I should have a few around in case I have a bad stretch of insomnia. I've had to call off to go in when he wouldn't call in a prescription for known issues that he's seen me for in the past....
Stuff like that. I want a dr that trusts me when I tell him something is wrong and doesn't look at me like i'm scratching the skin off my face and begging for fentinyl patches because I want a handful of percs so I can get through a work day with my lower back in agony.
I'm gonna be 40 before I know it too...so I guess small fingers would be a bonus.

Heard that before. Didn't work out so well then either. My bet is that this new gun will be a dirty slut in no timeI may stop in at the lounge tomorrow to show off my new toy and enjoy a good cigar. Think I may stop in round noon. That's if I don't go to the range that is...
Btw... Nobody is allowed to put this new innocent piece of steel down their pants... Period!
Asking for something by name makes you look like a drug seeker. Prescription drug abuse is the worst among narcotics, and it is because of doctors. This is why they don't give you any extra.
6 pills? I'm suprised he didn't give you 2. One for the way there, and one for the way back.
Be careful, you are being watched. Doctors can look up and see who prescribed you meds, what they were, how many you got, and when you filled them.
If you want to fix this long term issue you need to find a non narcotic way of doing it. Getting on pain meds for long term pain usually means you never get off them.
It's not long term. It was twice in three years seeing him. I don't drink much or often. I've never used illegal drugs. But I don't want to sit around in pain either when a $4 prescription will solve the issue. He can see who prescribed me what all he wants. It's just him. I'm not seeing 15 doctors trying to hustle them all.
I'd been seing him for a year and a half the first time I asked. And I didn't just go in asking. I went in and then when he was sending me home with advice for advil I asked.
Asking by name? What do you want me to do? Play sharades? 3 syllables, first letter.....
If that's the sign of a good doctor to have me sitting in pain then I want a crappy doctor. Because the good dr leaves me with the option of agony, or getting a handful of pain pills form family or friends and risking my job if I get pulled for a randaom test. I'm 34 years old. I don't want to play some kind of cat and mouse game for relief.
And I don't have a problem long term. I had a couple of incidents where I found myself in agony and had a fat prick of a doctor who looked at me all smugly for wanting to feel better.
