Sweetie, don't get too fond of Soma. They don't warn you about it but it can be addictive. I worked with someone who picked up a Soma and Tylenol with codeine jones from a bad back. He was doing all the doctor shopping stuff and taking far beyond the normal doses before he finally decided he needed help to quit. This was just a nice, normal middle-class guy who accidentally acquired an Rx jones that really messed him up for a while. Even if you're floating on drugs, I'm really glad to see you back here. I'm sorry you had to have the surgery, and I hope you'll heal quickly and easily.

Sweetie, don't get too fond of Soma. They don't warn you about it but it can be addictive. I worked with someone who picked up a Soma and Tylenol with codeine jones from a bad back. ....Here's what I've found about drugs like Soma and Vicodin: if you're really experiencing pain out the ass, then the body for some reason refuses to get addicted. It's only when you take them after the pain starts to subside that you get the addiction problem, as the pain tends to negate the body's mechanisms that tell you "hey dude...this is actually *fun* to take when you're -not- hurting!" This is why I started weening myself from that on-demand morphine drip about two days before they cut me back from 1 unit/6 minutes to 1 every 15; in fact, I went for about 11 hours without a shot, which freaked the hell out of the floor nurse who couldn't figure out why I hadn't shown any use after they'd just refilled the dispenser! ....Trust me on this one, kids - I've got any addiction issues under control. The only problem is that the bruising that occurred when I whacked the stump on Saturday precludes me *not* taking about 2-3 of the Vicodins along with the Soma. I did check with the sawbones, and she said that as long as I'm watching for *any* of the various warning signs - which I am - then I should be okay, and if anything pops up to go straight to the ER. Call an ambulance if necessary, and she'd meet me there. I'm watching this one closely, as I don't need any complications. If all goes well, within 60 days I'll have a new leg to stick on the end. Then I'll add the flashing LED kits and really frack with everyone's minds!

Yes, the G's might squeeze them out like flatbread. :-) At least the Soyuz didn't kill them, but still, not the preferred way to end a mission.
