I don't know that I'd raise my kids here ( they're grown ) but there are some parts mainly the north end and ruston area that are pretty solid with beautiful old mansions.
Vasectomy? Nothing. Not even ice (balls of steel). Drove myself home.
I was given vicodin when I was 16 for what was believed to be a stress fracture from football. Didn't do shit. Hurt just as bad, and didn't get me high at all. All encounters with opioid prescriptions since have been a waste. I've never really had any reaction to them, positive or negative. They go down the throat, and nothing's changed with me. Franny.
Most powerful painkiller I've ever experienced is plain ol' aspirin coupled with a little adrenaline. I had four knee surgeries before my senior year in high school, never mind all of the minor injuries from being the most comically undersized football player ever, and most school days I limped around from class to class, barely able to get up out of my chair or lift my arms above my head, but pop four aspirin and gut it out through warmups, and I'd be full sprint for practice. Every game was four aspirin before warmups and three at halftime.
I'm not sure I fit in around here: I'm the guy who had to rehab from a fucking aspirin addiction... I still sometimes dose up a bit with the ol' Vitamin A before a track day if I'm nursing one of my frequent old man injuries.
I drove myself home from my vasectomy, too, after having the marcaine not work. Felt everything, down to my toes and up to my shoulder. Took all my willpower not to throttle the doc snipping my balls
Vicodin works well with Jack Daniels, or so I recall from a root canal I had in 1992
I felt everything when I had the V-job and they kept just giving me more shots in my nuts. 4 vials. I went home with my balls inflated with meds and felt every pothole glaring at my wife. It was fucking awful. Hurts thinking about it.
Where did you have it done? At a cannery?
Oohh, the 'Ville. Ouch.
I grew up there, escaped to the UW, moved back while working in Redmond due to housing prices, now live in Tacompton.
Nothing says Success like Marysville to Tacoma. You've made it!
i'm not clear on what kind of ass surgery requires fentanyl... can you elaborate?
Fentanyl is often used with Propofol as a twilight sedation for colonoscopies and endoscopies. Amazing shit. Very short half life. You don’t really go under though it may seem that way and when it wears off you feel like you’ve had the best sleep of your life. Very powerful drugs though, potentially very dangerous. Fentanyl is 50 to 100 times more powerful than morphine. Pedo Michael got the permasleep.

I had midazolam, not propofol
Another commonly used sedative in conjunction with fentanyl as the analgesic for these procedures. Both combos are quite effective.

oh wow. I had my first colonoscopy 2 months ago and didn't pay attention to what they gave me to keep me partially sedated through it.

I probably should have been more careful with my choice of words so as to not to come off as alarmist. Twilight sedation is quite safe when administered by an anesthesiologist. It’s also quite pleasant, so no one should fear having a colonoscopy. Fentanyl becomes quite dangerous when some schmuck slinging heroin decides to cut his product with it. These days when you see an uptick in heroin overdoses there’s a good chance someone was selling it cut with fentanyl.

I had a colonoscopy a couple years ago and I thought I was asleep for the whole procedure, but I swear I remember my ass getting probed at one point. Guess this would explain why.
Near the end my wife had her Dilaudid pump with an extra bolus available something like every 15 minutes? Can't remember exactly. Then there was like 150 microgram/hr worth of fentanyl patches. We worked our way up from 25. They last 72 hours but they had me change them every 48 to make sure levels never dropped.
It was incredible the amount of painkillers the hospice dropped off to my home those last couple months, and seemingly for pennies. That was the one part of her surgeries, treatments, care, medications that wasn't insanely expensive. Like the pills that block "Substance P" in your brain to keep you from vomiting. ~$600 per dose, supposed to work for 3 days, and they did ok - better than nothing - for about 36 hours. But I digress.
At the memorial everyone wanted to talk about her no longer being in pain, but frankly that woman hadn't felt pain for a good month. *Shrug* Thank heavens for small favors. Cheers--
We had to do an intervention for my sister in 2010 because of opioids. She had a shoulder problem in 2004 that she had minor surgery for, then decided she was too fucking lazy to do the PT afterwards, so they put her on long-term pain medication knowing that she was an alcoholic in recovery. Vicodin became oxy became fentanyl, and by 2010 she was a couchdrooler when she wasn't frantically convincing her pain doctor to prescribe more powerful shit for her. At one point I got on the phone with her doc's office and told them she was addicted and they were feeding her addiction and what was it going to take for them to stop giving her the shit that was going to kill her eventually, and they said as long as she didn't drop the pen when she signed for her drugs they'd keep giving them to her.
It seems like they've cut back a ton in the past number of years on how much they will prescribe. When I had a near death type ski crash in 2012, they prescribed me enough hydro morphine dilauded to keep an elephant high for months. I couldn't shit for 2 weeks and that caused me to get off them as quick as I could.
They gave me IV Dilaudid when I had an appendicitis ten years ago.
Holy fuck that is good shit.
I once gave one of my buddies a few left over dilaudid pills. Next thing I know he's grinding it up with a Visa card and snorting the powder. WTF?
I got a colon scope at age 40 and they went in dry with no drugs. At Virginia Mason on Capital Hill
I felt at the time that the tech was having too much fun
NTTIAWWT
I'm way overdue but scarred for life
40? Were you in some kind of high risk group?
I had mine at 50 and was told it's mandatory with my insurance coverage (the super amazing insurance coverage that my high powered wife at a tech company gets) so I did it. Zero polyps beaches!!

See you again at 60 doctor.
Well my dad died of colon and liver cancer at the age of 64 which I turn next year. His side of the family has horrible die early genes
My mother however made it to 90, albeit the last few years with dementia and her side has the live forever gene
We'll find out this year which set I have I suppose

We'll know if you start leaving sandwiches in the sock drawer which one it's going to be.
I guess I've been lucky too. My addiction to booze and weed has always been a better high than legal opiodes
Same here minus the booze. I used to like it but have a hard time drinking enough to get hammered anymore. I just get so sleepy...
I spent a couple of years bashing the way people have changed weed since the stores all opened. I compared the search for more and more potency to chasing the dragon and resisted the super high THC (like 30%) bud. I flat refused to have anything to do with extract oils, dabs or wtf ever that shit is, etc.
Now I do it too. My tolerance is so through the roof that I have to laugh at myself for the attitude I had. I definitely can't claim any high ground on the matter of drug use with where my weed habit has gotten to.
THC Diamonds (99%) will get you higher than a mfer. 2 hours in you realize you’ve consumed 6000 calories and you’re drooling all over yourself

Mother had fentanyl transdermal patches for the pain during the last months of her losing battle with melanoma
Addict sister had worked her way up to a fentanyl prescription for her "shoulder pain" until we had the intervention
I was feeling left out

Yes, I’m a quitter but I’d win every game ever of “I’ve never.”
