Perky for Percoset

I went in for some minor outpatient surgery today (extremely minor) to drain an abscess that had been causing me no small amount of pain over the past three or four days. The procedure itself hurt, despite a local anesthetic, because the area wasn't highly vascularized (which is good, because if it had been, the infection might've hit my bloodstream).

The doctor prescribed Percoset for the pain. I'm on said Percoset right now. It's very, very nice. I'm supposed to stay on it for ten days, even while I'm at work.

Doobie doobie doo.

[livejournal.com profile] midnightfae keeps looking at me funny. We were watching Robin Hood: Men in Tights and I kept laughing heartily at puns and silly sight gags. But they were funny! Funny funny funny.

Funny.

Hi! *waves*

You are such a doof. An adorable doof, but a doof just the same.

I am to please, mademoiselle.

They told you to stay on it for ten days? Really? I've always thought that Percoset was supposed to be an as-needed thing.

Not that I'm saying you shouldn't take it - pain meds are helpful for a quick recovery. I had it after my last surgery and it definitely worked wonders for the pain.

Well, not need. My roommate corrected me after I made the post. I'm actually thinking it might not be that necessary. Of course, this is coming from somebody who can't even remember what pain is like at the moment.

Heh. I remember that feeling!

It's on my to-do list for Wednesday night.

*much giggling* Glad it's working for you. Also glad your surgery went well.

As am I. As am I.

You;re awesome when you're stoned

Oh, save some for later. Percoset is one of my favorite party drugs ever. That, with a glass of wine and I'm sure that nothing could be better.

I have a highly addictive personality so I'm actually avoiding taking it as much as I'm allowed. But I can totally see how this would be awesome at a party. Wheeeee.

This is going to be an awesome ten days!

Though I'm sorry to hear you're in pain.

Dude, we so need to hang out sometime in the next 10 days. I want to be able to point and laugh.
