Drugs are my friend...

Thank goodness for Oxycodone. I never thought I would be able to say that....see previous posts for details about what it has done to my mom (who is doing very well now). For me, it has been a blessing over the past few days. While trying to finish up some yard work on Sunday morning, I was squatted down finishing cutting down a tree in my front yard. When I got finished and tried to stand up, my back gave out and I ended up on my knees. Long story longer, I eventually had to give up on walking and decided to crawl back into the house. I have a pinched nerve that has caused a lot of pain in my back and left leg. I've been to see the Chiro twice a day and he has me almost back to normal. I've taken a few pills over the course of the last 48 hours, but only when the pain got so bad I couldn't find a position to lay in that eased the pain. That stuff is amazing and I could see where someone might get hooked....you can go from completely miserable with unbearable pain to feeling good and not giving a damn about anything in the span of less than 30 minutes.

The moral of the story is to trim your trees yearly, not decadely.

Much Love,

PB
