Watch out for women and berries - could get your ass in a jam
That sounds awesome. You coming here seems pretty normal. No it's not a dream
I thought you looked pretty good. Like some old fart who played 9 holes on a 90 degree day and had a few too many Long Island Iced Teas. Your color generally looks pretty good.
For a second above it looked like the son's cat took a month off from work
we love you tooooo!
this forum should be the IMMI LUV FORUM cuz we all here checking in on you buddy
Thank you, sweetheart.
I’ve decided I got OD’d on meds.
I’ve been on a maintenance dose of oxycodone, between 10 and 25 mg daily, for a couple years. The doctor(s) and nurses kept pounding “It’ll help you breathe if you take more” and the Rx was written as “Take 20 mg every four hours”, so I did. I even set a reminder on my stupid phone which made my hospice nurse happy. It seemed so fricking drastic. From 20 to >120 daily? Really?
And after a couple weeks, I’m in the hospital again. I’m getting memories back of that. Memories of sweating right though my clothes and into a blanket, which turned out to be my kitty blanket behind me in half the selfies I’ve posted here. I mean, drenched. I guess I offended a nurse at the hospital when I asked her to not laugh at my “little baby dick” when they were installing the catheter. Whatever. I was high as fuck. Must’ve been.
Now I’m on methadone only for breathing. Morphine as needed for pain. I’ll be asking the nurse that’s laying here sleeping for that soon, because I’m actually feeling what my ankles feel like WITHOUT pain meds for the first time in years. Not good at all. If I didn’t have all the other health issues, I’d be in line for artificial ankles PDQ. Shit. They hurt, especially the “good one”.
Thanks for being concerned. My son has been a godsend through this and is taking great care of me.
And I have a nurse every night now. She’s asleep at the moment but pops up the second I say anything. I think my siblings are footing the bill for night help because I know Medicare ain’t footing that bill.

Puts the "pro" in procrastination
Can we just call you Vienna Sausage? Baby Franks and Beans? LBD sounds too pedo, the site could get flagged.
Again.
It turns out the nurse I had offended was one of the in-home nurses that I have here a few nights a week. I have a nurse every night from 8pm to 8am, and she was here the first night and was tasked with cutting my underwear off after I was sent home from the hospital, still completely out of my mind. “Healthcare” is fucking weird these days.
And she’s easily offended, and over the strangest shit too.
One night, I had the TV on and she stood up to leave the room and said “I’m sorry, but I can’t be around anything the is based on ‘evil stuff’, I feel it is absorbed by me…” or some such weirdness. I flipped the channel because I wasn’t really watching anyway so she sat back down. I was curious about what threw her and did a mental screenshot of what I’d seen right before flipping. I saw it again the next day, and it was a Taco Bell commercial.
The next day, I’m watching TV (again) and said “If you see something, let me know and I’ll flip. I don’t want to offend anyone, blah blah”. A few minutes later, she started to go to the other room and I asked what it was that bothered her. “The evil stuff on TV”
It was Barnaby Jones. Are you kidding me?!?
She’s here as I type.

Come on man, all that crime, of course she's offended
That chick better never turn on the news, her head will explode.

It would be a hard life to lead, the whole “avoiding evil” thing.
