Since I had my hissy fit today, I should probably mention something positive. I've successfully cut my pain meds in half. It was a major concern of mine. Little by little I'm going to get the pills out of my life. I want to be smart about it, taper, only use when needed like on therapy days or work days. Its working. Would be real easy to keep popping them and enjoy the opiate "feel good". Not doing it though. So that's cool.
For anyone that follows my posts closely, my father on the other hand....bad news. Need to have a sit-down with him. He's digging himself quite the hole with his oxycodone use/abuse. At his age I think he's oblivious to the fact that at his current rate, detox or rehab is in his future. I love my father with all my heart, but I have to be the adult in this conversation that will occur before the end of this week. He won't like it.
