We specifically did not want the school district tests to be the first tests given to him. The psychologist we hired to do the eval came recommended from the therapist and she believes what he does is much more thorough.
Good call.
Angel: Eve. So, I guess we should, I don't know, talk? Eve: About what? Angel: About what happened back there with us. Eve: Angel, it's not like this is the first time I've had sex under a mystical influence. I went to U.C. Santa Cruz.

You may be able to walk around, but you will likely be high as a kite on pain killers. Nevermind. That should make the posting even more interesting. Proceed.
Hah, this was exactly my thought! YEEEES, post on painkillers! Wheee!

DJ, I share your WTF-ery, even if I am feeling too impotently rageful and despairing to know what to say about it. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh.

Hee!! What makes this even more interesting is that this will only be the fourth time I've been put under, and my first surgical procedure since I had one of those earwax tubes inserted when I was eight, so I have no idea how I'm going to react to either the general anasthesia or bigtime painkillers. The last time I had those was for one day when I had my wisdom teeth yanked in high school, and all I did then was sleep all day long.

Much ~ma to your family, Anne. So sorry for your loss.
post on painkillers
After HKF was born, they had me on some serious cocktail, AND put a phone by my bed. I apparently phoned my best friend from college and convinced her I was at a spa/resort. I have no recollection of this at all.

Kathy - the last time I was on such painkillers in the hospital, I thought I was doing ok the first 24 hours. But at one point I was in a wheelchair, right before or after some follow-up x-rays, and I realized how whacked out I was. There was that moment of clarity that I'll never forget, but then I went right back into that pain free drug haze.

Oh, I've had some fun talks with Teppy when she was out of her gourd on painkillers. Good times.
Though chatting with Ple while she's all hopped up on Red Bull and Vodka can't be beat for laughs.

Because books.
I've high-dialled many friends while on painkillers, and once on codeine cough syrup. Good times.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I just found out a co-worker's Jamaican wife has the same random not-really-a-name as a chick I went to high school with. I'm not sure if it's more of a coincidence if it's not her than if it is her. But I'm sure she's too young to be my former classmate. I'm ancient around here.
eta: Y'all have seen so much of my posting on narcotics, I don't even know.
