If You Give A Mouse Oxy Contin
What started out as a gag post on FB turned into a nasty situation.
I raided my mom's prescription of Hydro codeine in a desperate effort to relieve my back pain. I'm pissed that I've spent one of two weeks under semi house arrest because of that fucking ache. No hikes, no dog walks, nothing. I've been popping pills, which worked. I slept so well last night.
I took a half dose, one pill at 11 this morning after a gut full of eggs, bacon, and hash browns. Then I farted around playing on the iPad, watching tv, before getting into the shower. After my bath, I played around on Face Book and wrote a stupid gag post complaining about people stashing painkillers in Flintstone vitamin bottles and how ingesting one of "Dino's eggs" made me on the cusp of getting sick. Right after I wrote that, I felt very faint. I put my TShirt and boxers back on and went to find something to eat. A pop tart and chicken cutlet somewhat helped, but I just wanted to lie down. I tried throwing up, but I think the meds were already at the point of no return. Dad took my blood pressure and my pulse registered at 51.
He went to get mom at work telling me to be ready to go to urgent care if things didn't improve. I fell asleep and came to at six. I felt better, but I had to cancel plans to go to the hot springs with co workers. I was real pissed about that. At this moment my pulse is at 72, but there's a slight dizziness I'm feeling. Things may improve in the morning, or they may not. I don't know what the hell happened. If I'd have gone to a doctor, then I'd have had to come clean about how I got the back pain which led me to take the hydro codeine which led to the reaction. I'd have gotten my ass chewed out for taking pills prescribed to someone else plus possible workman's comp since my aches started at work. Not a shit storm I feel like sailing through. It's like "If You Give A Mouse A Cookie," but without the cutesy animals and sweet treats.
