[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Vicodin didn't affect me much at all while I was in pain. I think the last day I took it (day 3 or 4?) I wasn't really in pain but figured what the heck, I HAD the stuff, and was like "ooh...ok, this is kinda fun loopy, I guess I can see why people might take it for fun".
(ETA: but it was more like a light buzz, than even like being full-on drunk, it wasn't like I was hallucinating or anything...I certainly could FEED myself!)
Final grades are in: 3 A's, 2 A-'s. Graduating GPA: 3.93!!!
That's excellent news! Good on you!
My regular painkiller is dihydrocodeine, which is milder than Vicodin but apparently quite similar. It doesn't have any interesting effects for me, except for sending me to sleep a fair bit. Now, codeine, which is apparently weaker, makes me completely nutty. I avoid that. It's a bit weird.
ETA: Aims, nice grades!
WOO HOO, AIMS! Congrats!
Congrats, Aims!!
I took Vicodin after my shoulder surgery, and I don't remember much about how it affected me. I don't think it made me too loopy. But it's still fun to say "hopped up on Vicodin."
I wrote to the rice pasta people to find out where to get their stuff.
Aims, awesome grades! I hope the surgery goes super smooth and easy.
Ugh. Head still hurts a little. Stoopid yummy beer.
That's a better grade point average than I graduated with, and I graduated Cum Laude.
edit: I think that's Summa Cum Laude territory.
Stoopid yummy beer.
Sean, you left your Homer Simpson tag open there. Let me get that for you.

They transplant the parathyroids?
Yes. You have 4 parathyroid glands--2 on each side of your thyroid. They actually sit directly ON your thyroid. They will remove the parathyroids and transplant them into your neck muscles somewhere.
When I had my surgery done, on one side of my thyroid, I was so lumpy bumpy that they couldn't find my parathyroids. The other side was really underdeveloped (like the size of a raisin) and they could only find 1 parathyroid. Which they transplanted.
I ended up with some complications because of that which I'll tell you if you want, but I don't want to go into if you've already talked to your doc about them. It's not horrible, more inconvenient, and fairly rare.
And, congrats on the grades!!!!
