Don't call it Flexeril!
Whatcha got there is my collection of pills that I’m currently supposed to be taking. Somehow, I went from my 30s to my 80s. I’m going to have to get one of those little plastic dispenser things to keep track. And pull my pants way up.
Most of those are to treat the herniated disk I gave myself a couple of days ago– lifting a full brood box from the beehive. Did you know that one of those can weigh upwards of 100 lbs? Well, it’s true.
A little word to the wise here… don’t try to move one from one place to another by lifting it up at arm’s length and turning your body to the destination and lowering it from that position. A little thing will go “pop” in your back, and you’ll be letting out expletives of pain every few minutes and eating muscle relaxants and vicodin for the next week or so. Trust me on this one.
The garden? I can only imagine it’s still out there. Maybe I’ll go dig a… or… wait… move that… um… get down and pull some… hmm…
Maybe I’ll gobble down some vicodin, cyclobenzaprine, and a glass of sauvignon blanc and slide down the wall into a mushy pile on the floor. Yeah, that sounds about right.
Yikes!
What is “a full brood box”? Surely you weren’t keeping chickens up there?
O-daiji ni shite kudasai. (translation: ..Uh..do..the larg..great.. damn it! On second thought, “Please persevere, Mr. honorable bent man.. No, “Do zazen. But lay on a hard floor instead.” Shit! That’s useless too. Okay, “think pleasant thoughts!”
Well, bro, you’re screwed for about a week. (Somehow that too misses the mark.)
Yes, cyclobenzaprene is organic. Go easy on that stuff. Just drink more wine.
Say, did your cyclobenzaprine come with this warning “EATING GRAPEFRUIT OR DRINKING GRAPEFRUIT JUICE WHILE YOU ARE TAKING THIS MEDICINE may increase the amount of medicine in your blood which may increase your risk for serious side effects. Talk with you doctor before including grapefruit or grapefruit juice in your diet.” ???
Bagpipe Man is taking it for car accident related injuries and apparently now must stay far far away from grapefruit although his dr didn’t mention it.
Also, feel better soon. Of course.
Thanks, ladies. I am (almost) fully recovered. The drugs worked wonders, and I ended up only needing/wanting a couple of each.
I’m told by someone who isn’t me that pot helps a lot in these situations as a muscle relaxant, too.
I wouldn’t know.
