Granny's gone and done it again

[Granny Hatchet]

For the record Granny I don't drink whiskey either. Can't stand it. If we ever get another vacation on the beach where we are not driving we will have a 4 pack of wine coolers that are fruit flavored. It's been years since we've done that. They are very low alcohol and do help to relax. There was an old piece of advice given centuries ago about beer. It was not to be used by kings and rulers but to be reserved for old men in their days of pain. Ya know I understand being an old man in my days of pain. Still don't drink it. Bad enough using PP's with a mild amount of opioid in them. So far today only had 2 of the 4 prescribed. Will take one more at bedtime. Along with a couple of OTC things to help it work instead of more of it.

Thanks for looking for me Larry, My PPs keep me awake. I dont take them late if I can help it.

Granny I skipped pp's until after evening chores were done. By then I was hurting bad enough I took a full dose. Now I have to get up and walk around some. I've sat long enough to get my hips to hurting eve after taking meds. I refuse to take anything stronger than Trammadol. BBL

My GM sure swore by her cough syrup. She had a terrible cough. Once I seen her stumble to bed and it scared me. Mom said she was drunk.

Me too, but they also constipate me, so I avoid them as much as possible.

That way you don't need sleeping pills and don't hurt?

MiraLax in tea or Postum..... once a day.

I think they do that to everyone.

They do. Doc wanted to know if I wanted another pill to offset the pp's. I told him no. I knew what to do. The surgeon that took my gallbladder out told me MiraLax in coffee in the morning and said tea was just fine too. It has no taste and dissolves so you don't know it is there. Just don't ever try and use it in soda. That doesn't work. Walmart had the Equate knock off of MiraLax for less. It's all the same. Other store brands are out there too. It's not hard on the stomach either. It's just a soluble fiber as far as I know.
