Working While Poor and In Pain in the United States

[dixiegrrrrl]

6. Mr. dixie is getting adequate pain meds for his broken back

and his doc seems comfortable writing the re-fills
but
because of all this hype about opioids, Mr. dixie feels guilty asking for refills
and worries about being addicted even tho he takes less than he really should, so is still in pain on the meds but now is anxious and tense to boot.
He had another MRI this week, which will cover the good dr.'s ass for prescribing the meds
and hopefully help Mr. dixie feel better about taking the correct dose.

and funny thing is, he has half the tolerance that I do, so his meds work better than the prescribed dosage for me after my surgery this summer.

i do not know anyone our age who is not hurting from one thing or another, which is pretty common for us boomers by now.

fortunately, we are seen as nice white senior citizens and I doubt the good dr, ( young enough to be my grandson) would ever envision us as selling our meds.

what a fucked up system.
