Hmm, been a few years since I heard that. <br />Dad had them a couple times. Last one(I think), they just prescribed Percodan, which would knock him out for 12 hours (early 70's). Stuff didn't work well at all for me, with a shattered wrist.

("We'd have to send you out to ER for x-rays.")<br /><br />Of course, next day when the pain started getting bad, I drove myself over to ER *before* it got unbearable... and was told I'd need a ride home. (Thank you dilaudid.) Also, "You have one in each side. And your bladder is full of gravel." :catstare: (Yes, that's a direct and accurate quote. (shudder))<br /><br />So yeah, get better y'all, and if you feel it coming on, try not to get stuck way up at North Campus or whatever, OK?Ygolonachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08563204531769753326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-50281633671926919692015-03-08T23:49:41.026-04:002015-03-08T23:49:41.026-04:00Hope that you have a speedy and complete recovery....Hope that you have a speedy and complete recovery.<br /><br />As for your ability to handle pain...<br /><br />DAAAAAYUM!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-90261147185602226582015-03-08T21:48:31.691-04:002015-03-08T21:48:31.691-04:00BUMMER!
