I suppose we are lucky not to get any pleasure from the stuff. I pushed the morphine pump just to get back to sleep until I saw that my blood pressure was 80/42 and I quit the Oxycontin after two days because the slowed intestines were more painful than the surgical wounds. No rush at all.

Soon to be a made-for-cable movie on the Lifetime channel.
