Yes, that's right, Pam. If I didn't want them to be notified, they wouldn't have been. Having come into rehab with a lot of pain issues, I talked to my counselor there, told her I feared going back out because my physical health made it easy to rationalize.
That doesn't mean that I could never have strong pain meds prescribed. When I crushed my leg, I had no choice. But, for chronic pain, no doctor was going to prescribe opiates for maintenance. And that's what I wanted.
