Just an FYI . . . Brett maybe pulled a muscle or is experiencing some nasty sciatica or radiculopathy from all the luggage handling he did during our vacation, only to be followed by snow shoveling upon our return. At least that's what he hopes it is, and not some bizarre tropical disease he picked up on our sojourn. Unfortunately, he had to go to class today and in an effort to actually make it to class (he could barely stand up last night) he took a very powerful pain killer that was left over from some procedure or another and now he's sick from that. The boy just can't win. Also, how on earth do you get addicted to those nasty pain killers? I have taken a total of 2 in my entire life, and on both occasions I became ferociously ill.

Poor Brett! And I have the same question about painkillers. I've hated every one I've ever taken and been desperate to get off them.

I had bad sciatic nerve pain when I was pregnant, and I wouldn't wish that shit on ANYONE. It is AWFUL. I could barely walk.

Oh no! Did you over pack?

When I had my wisdom teeth out, I took ONE of the pain pills they gave me. Then I decided the pain was better than the pill.
