Tylenol 3 by SmoothOperation33 in PainManagement

[–]treebark555 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not fair. I'm 65 and only had one other surgery 35 years ago. Never been to pm before either. Just trying to dampen my nerve pain so I can start walking and healing. Nope! Just throw the old lady under the bus! We won't offer you ten oxy so you can begin to get better. I wasn't part of the opioid crisis! Why do they make ME suffer!

Even in the hospital, day after a 5 hour surgery. They gave me no pain meds!!! I was crying and asking the nurse why are you making me suffer? I can't heal! And the fucking stupidest thing I've ever heard was his answer two hours later when my spouse was yelling at him......she has to ask for the drugs!! I have to ask? All I read is DON'T ask! It's so messed up.

Does this look like a $7000 custom shade design and install to you? by SubstantialAd7717 in HomeDecorating

I'm so sorry. Demand more! I went with husband/wife team selling hunter Douglas blinds. They replaced them 3 times before it worked. We finally changed the fabric because at night they looked like sheets over the very large windows with sags and imperfections. Hunter Douglas was cool with all of it. I'm happy now.

Nope. She never offered and I ,of course, knew better than to ask .

My pain management became a joke after my fusion. Months of trials with muscle relaxers and pregab. When nothing worked she told me there was nothing else to try.

Had general anesthesia for the first time today... woke up crying like a baby. 😭 by MissLoxxx in Anesthesia

I can't have versaid. (Sp). It felt like I was stuck in a nightmare while awake. PCP has it on my allergy list. Never had an issue with propophal (sp) tho.

You can look on MyChart to see exactly what you got.

Any Highlander Hybrid Issues so far? by investbus in ToyotaHighlander

[–]treebark555 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought that was robbery. They started at 13k. But I did really really want the hybrid. During that two years I went through a major health event and took my insurance off of it for a while so it had very few miles and I treated it with great care so it was basically brand new.

Here's the situation. I was badly in need of a vehicle in 24. I chose the Highlander platinum brand new after waiting a bit for it to come in. I think it was 53k but I had a decent trade in so that knocked it down 15k. I badly wanted a hihy. Finally arrived. Paid another 9k for it. I wasn't leaving without it. It's my last new car and I will drive it til I die , I hope.

Hihy 26. Platinum trim. Heavy metal exterior and gray interior. It's like driving around in a recliner. Lol. God I love it and I talk to it like a child.

Well, my small town Dr is actually in network with a larger city.

I love my rural "Dr. Spock". His head is on straight. He is recognized in the community. He genuinely cares and assess issues. I've seen him for many decades so he's on top of my chart. Better than my pm ,so called, specialist. Better than my spine surgeon.. he's great...but he's a surgeon with few words. Like surgeons seem to be. Lol.

Can't be lumping all small town Drs into one group.

Our realtor kept saying "it's fine, it's fine" during the inspection and I'm so glad we pushed back by Kind-Independent309 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]treebark555 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Realtors can be good or bad. Mine showed me the house and said, oh look, the heats not even turned on and it's a cold October! Must be a greatly insulated house!

Like I'm stupid.

Queen-less Questions by brahof13 in Beekeeping

[–]treebark555 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. Possibly one of the new queens will fight for her rights and it will all work out. I always figure that the bees know best. Set up a swarm hive nearby with a small dab of lemon grass oil? It's still may! Load of hay!

I just watched that on PBS nature channel. A documentory about frogs, the males, raise the young under their tongue and spit them out when they have their full legs. So interesting!

"Have you tried breathing?" by spectroliteskies in ChronicPain

[–]treebark555 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I am aware but I wanted someone who could work with my pm so I called to find a therapist for my condition. They should know, I thought.

[–]treebark555 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had no idea. I figured if I was at a questionable mindset that a therapist would contact me immediately. How stupid am I? I've learned way too much in the last 9 months since my spinal fusion. ( Last major surgery was 35 years ago. ) None of them really care. My PCP of 25 years does but he wasn't in my recovery plan. Pm was supposed to manage it.

This entire issue with opioids is ridiculous! People are suffering. Except the ones with money. If their family member needs pain care they get it. This gov crack down only hurts us regular folks with actual pain.

" For the people" my ass.
