Ever since the hubs broke his leg real good, he’s been taking Oxycodone for the pain.
Wikipedia describes this drug as “an opioid analgesic medication synthesized from opium-derived thebaine.”
After living with someone taking this, I’m beginning to see it more as “that half-drunk idiot you never wanted your brother to hang out with.”
Here’s the kind of thing conversation we have with it:
Normal Hubs: Could you get me another pillow for my leg?
Oxy: I’M GONNA REORGANIZE ALL OUR GEAR IN THE GARAGE TODAY!
Normal Hubs: Maybe I’ll go out to the mailbox today and get the mail, but then I’ll rest.
Oxy: HEY, LET’S GO CAMPING!
Normal Hubs: Whew! I’m a little tired from doing that load of laundry.
Oxy: I CAN TOO CAMP! I’LL DO ALL THE WORK! YOU WON’T HAVE TO!
Normal Hubs: I might have overdone it a little today walking that half block.
Oxy: I CAN TOO DRIVE! EVEN THOUGH I BROKE BOTH BONES, I CAN STILL FLEX MY RIGHT FOOT UP AND DOWN.
Normal Hubs: Can you get me more chamomile tea?
Oxy: WHAT IF I ONLY DRIVE ON THE ISLAND?? IT’LL BE FINE! WHY ARE YOU SO UPTIGHT!?
Me: Give me one of those pills.

I took that in the hospital post-surgery and felt extremely happy and optimistic. It’s a wonder-drug. Though clearly not so wonderful for the spouse.

yes, i’m thinking spouses should get their own prescriptions…
Haha! It makes for good conversation later!
