Racer - you must have felt great that night w/o any pain killers.

Your story does trump mine - I could probably well have skipped a few days of metadate.

This is not a pharm. story but a dental surgery story. Years ago, my husband had dental surgery and we stopped by the local pharmacy on the way back from the hospital to pick up a scrip of pain meds. Of course there was no parking, so I pulled into this narrow alley between the pharm. and another small building, put my flashers on and went into the store to pick up the scrip, leaving my husband in the car. (he also had a bad hamstring pull so he was both miserable and disabled) Even though the scrip had been called in, it wasn't filled when I got there and I was in much longer than I intended. When I came out, my husband told me that some tenant on the building next door came out shortly after I'd gone into the store and told him to move the car because we weren't supposed to park there. Mind you, this tenant was going nowhere, so parking in the alley was causing him no inconvenience. My very numbed up husband explained that he had just had surgery etc. and that the car would be moved as soon as I got out. (stupidly, I had grabbed the car keys when I went into the store so my husband couldn't move it). The guy gave some surly reply and disappeared back into his apartment. He came out about 10 minutes later and started screaming at my husband about how the car had to be moved instantly and how he was headed back into his apartment to get his baseball bat.

Fortunately I showed up right after this. My husband has a street fighter side to his persoanality which is usually well hidden under a veneer of professional respectability. He was trying to avoid his natural impulse to start screaming back. Maybe it helped that he couldn't talk worth beans.

I have a british friend who flippantly refers to people she has no use for as a "waste of space." How true!
