KIDS>>>GRRRRRRRrr I went out of town at 6 am asked daughter to pick up perscription

[greenbriar]

she didn't have to work until 5 pm

I wasn't going to get home until after 8. Pharmacy closes at 7 on Sat now closed until Tuesday

she went but there were 20 people in line and she didn't feel like waiting WTF


ALL she had to do was to get one 5 dollar perscription to keep me out of pain and functional


NOW I have to wait until after 3 pm TUESDAY because i have to work tues to get my pain meds


GRRRRRRRRRRR all she had to do was go to the frikin store

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

[Haole Girl]

1. Wow

How old is she?

:shrug:

[greenbriar]

2. almost 17

old enough

[Haole Girl]

5. I can't tell you how to parent, so I'll just say this...

..it's a good thing you are her mother and she doesn't have to bear the wrath of what would have happened if I'd pulled a stunt like that. But that was before children threatened to turn their parents in for child abuse! lol

Hope you get some relief soon. Maybe you can call it into a 24-hr pharmacy by paying a extra, if you take your prescription to them. You might check into it.

:hug:

[greenbriar]

7. no, its a narcotic and the doctor has to call it in every month

to make sure I don't take more than 2 or 3 a day


he called it in to our pharmacy last night


now even he is out of town until WED


what may have to happen is a trip to the ER at 100 bucks for a shot


I think I will take it out of her paycheck

[Haole Girl]

12. Damn...

I have two "emergency" Norco pills left. If you lived near me I'd give you one.

They sure are sparing with that stuff, aren't they? :hug:

[greenbriar]

13. like we like making our selves sick to take the pain away

if I take more than 2 at a time, I throw up


if I don't take two, the pain doesn't go away


Thanks for the thoughts

[texanwitch]

11. I was going to suggest going to a 24 Walgreens.

This is serious.

[Skittles]

3. she needs a major butt-kicking

something very wrong here

[greenbriar]

4. just wait till the next time she wants something

this wasn't something trivial that could wait

this is essentially keeping mom function


Seriously

I shattered my navicular bone in my right foot and have had 4 major surgeries...she knows how important it is to control this pain

[BlueJazz]

8. When she goes to bed, tie her to the bedposts...When she wakes up, ask her if...

..she has ever seen the scene in the film "Misery" where the Lady does something with a Sledge Hammer????

:) :rofl:

[Flaxbee]

16. well, as her mom, I can't imagine you ever denying her something

that would ease her pain - there's a big difference between "need" and "want".

have you explained to her that you now have to spend 2+ days in pain because she couldn't be bothered to wait? I mean, really, does she have any idea how selfish she is? She's a teenager, sure, but this is pretty intense shitty behavior.

And if you wait to drive the point home until the next time she needs/wants something, it might not make an impression. You don't want her to resent you, you want her to respect you.

Anyway. This is advice coming from someone who has no kids (but two teenaged nieces!), so take it with a grain of salt. I'd be through the roof, though, if someone I depended on to ease my suffering blew me off like I didn't matter.

[greenbriar]

18. she is at work for another 15 minutes

I am going to explain how serious it is, and on Monday when she wants to go to the mall as we planned for the labor day sales

guess what...

I won't be able tooo because I will be IN FRIKIN PAIN

[LeftyMom]

6. I would make her find a 24 hour pharmacy and take care of it.

I know Walgreens and RiteAid both have them.

[greenbriar]

10. the doc has to call it in

its a narcotic


and he already called it in once. He is very strict about the amount and how long between days I can call it in


to keep me from taking too much I guess

[texanwitch]

14. Could you call the people who own the place.

Might be worth a try.

[greenbriar]

17. going to try tomorrow

My father in law may have some lortabs he is looking


I just will have to drive 25 minutes to get them

[texanwitch]

19. Wish I could give you my pain pills,

:hug:

[LeftyMom]

15. Then you're just going to have to kill her.

That's really frustrating that she chose to leave you with no pain medication rather than stand in line for a few. My mom has chronic pain issues, and I can't imagine ever doing that to her, even at my teenage worst.

[KitchenWitch]

9. That really stinks.

I would pretty much say no to the next ten requests she makes of you. Even if it is to drive her to work/school. She can get up earlier and walk.

[BreweryYardRat]

20. Okay, I DESPISE my mother, and I wouldn't do that.

Not even back when I was pushing 17.

Hell, she could have come back later if the line was too long.

Has your daughter expressed any Republican political leanings?

[greenbriar]

21. oh hell no

I would disown her

[BreweryYardRat]

22. All right...

Is it possible for you to take enough of an over-the-counter medication to reduce your pain...without giving you a toxic dose?

[greenbriar]

23. I am trying

I am going to take a nice LONG bath and took some 800 mg Ib profin. Father in law didn't have any pain relief like he thought
