Had the leftovers from my last nights dose of morphine this morning, but not a huge amount. And have no rigs left so didn't shoot. Took a couple of buscopan and an ondansetron tablet for my stomach. Can't remember if I had my muscle relaxer, but I'm going to have a couple now anyhow, which is fine, as my leg is sore. as usual. Could do with a proper helping of pain meds too.Not in anywhere close to
as much pain as my hips and knee can dish out to me. But I don't wish to be either. Prevention is better than cure, as they say. Although permanent cure isn't looking as though its going to happen, soon or otherwise.

That hash I found in my new coat yesterday though has definitely eased my pain though, would have been nice if there was a bigger piece, but I'm never one to be ungrateful for a gift from providence.

Beyond the pale. Way, way beyond the pale.

Yes, I did. They don't help as much as I would hope.

Some. Chlormethiazole, pain, and stomach meds mainly. Although delayed taking the chlormethiazole  for a long time, as I decided to finish off my bottle of navy rum, and down a few beers whilst playing videogames early morning last night, I'd already taken some pain meds so adding quite so unforgiving a respiratory depressant, which also has a specific, and pronounced potentiating effect upon alcohol
, taking very little of the stuff to turn even a rampaging alcoholic green around the gills and spewing uncontrollably (not me, this was a secondhand report from someone that witnessed it, but an alcoholic   was watched drinking a pair of those tiny wee one-shot miniature spirit bottles, smuggled in with him, and after being put on chlormethiazole, the two shots were sufficient to fell the guy, in a twitching,  tmoaning pool of vomit. Pretty impressive, well, pretty spectacular at any rate, perhaps impressive isn't quite the right word, but certainly spectacular from what I was told. Takes quite some doing I'd have thought, to permit a mere two individual shots, or a little over, they have a tiny bit more in them than one mouthful each. On its own, alcohol alone, that wouldn't have even  made me tipsy when I was ten years old, I'd tasted spirits by then, although I was never a heavy drinker, and had no built-up resistance to it at all, I drank, occasionally, usually with friends, but never so  frequently that
building a tolerance was possible. Not that I'd have wanted to. And two shots..christ, for that to fell an alcoholic, thats more than I'm chancing. Not to mention that same combination is what killed
keith moon, from The Who. Why by all accounts liked to get pretty messed up from what I hear, but still, another reason, as if I needed one, to have waited.

  I've just read that Prilosec and other meds in the  "proton pump inhibitor"  category are being
   linked to increased risks of kidney problems, osteoporosis and dementia.  Fucking great.  :thumbdn:

  Absolutely, especially as I lose weight.  All three of us siblings need to lose some weight and take these
  risk factors more seriously, since we are all at higher risk of dementia, so I am going to lead by example!   :arrr:

  Yeah, it sucks.  I took a Prilosec this afternoon anyway, just to laugh in the face of death.   :death: :lol2:

  Just took 'em all, didn't even gag on the horse-pill-sized L-Lysine and multivitamin.  :thumbup:
