Going for my followup acupuncture appointment today as I continue to stave off analgesics.
And OUCH Gresys0n. You're supposed to keep the rubber side down. Get well.

Been on various painkillers in pill form for a long time until I decided to throw them
in the trash and bought some weed in stead. Now I can sleep at night and I don't feel so vapid and empty in my head as when I ate the pills.
Oh the joy of the human back.

I just came back from 24 hour medical care near me. I broke a leg. I lost control of my bicycle and had an accident. Doctors quickly put my leg in plaster and prescribed me painkillers.

Same, except I'm only coming up on 3 years. Exact same dosage, too.

With magic, you can turn a frog into a prince.
With science, you can turn a frog into a Ph.D. and you still have the frog you started with.

^Aciphex is one of the funniest pill names, when you pronounce it. Me? I am kept alive in a Frankenstein's monster sort of way with a bucket of pills every morning, evening, and a few injections each day. And some of the pills do cause Aciphex. Sorry.

I often have burning feelings in the chest and throat. My GP said that it's GERD. He prescribed me some pills. They block acid production and heal the esophagus. But I also have to follow a diet.

Yes, for hypertension. Wouldn't have to if I'd just cut out the booze, eat healthier, and exercise a bit...but that's like, hard, man.

Dentists, lovely fellows.
Had a root canal recently for a little less than $700 bucks. Still had problems with my tooth some months later so I called back and they charged me 70$ just to tell me that it was still infected and they'll have to do it again for another f**king $700. Told them that it was out of the question and you should have seen the look on their faces, dude.
Dentists, scary fellows. |
I've had many of the same deals over the years until I came upon a very expensive dude that guaranteed his work. Not one problem in 25 years. Alas, he's retired and can't recommend someone. Now that really sucks.

Ahh, you were referring the secondary and less noticeable subtitle. Mea culpa. You've passed Dr. Gee's eye exam with flying colors. Now, go in peace. |
I couldn't care less where the typo occurred or how less noticeable it was, it existed - you joked, I joked and we all had a good laugh along the way but I will go how I bloody well please when I bloody well please. |
My wife always said that we made a bizarre odd couple (an odder couple, perhaps?) but she would have had quite a laugh with this one. Maybe she did? Who knows? So, go in peace, or pieces, whichever you prefer, Felix. Sincerely, Oscar.

I'm worried about that too. Had a dentist who seems very very good, but he wants to do LOTS of crowns. Other dentists are of "minimally invasive" camp and say crowns should only be a very last resort. Never let them drill unless it is essential. But my guy feels you should do the crowns while the core is as strong as possible.
Who to believe when you have two highly qualified people giving you opposite advice? Sucks.
