It wasn't the pain that gave me the problems driving back from the ER... I'd been living with the pain for a few weeks. It was only after I lost the feeling in my right foot, couldn't move my toes, began tripping and losing strength in my right leg that my aunt and coworkers convinced me to go to the doctor. When I called my Dr to make an appointment, they told me I needed to go to the ER. So I did.
No, the problem with driving back wasn't anything like that. It was the shot of demerol they gave me... I think that it was the equivalent to having a blood alcohol level of "Holy Mackeral!" It probably wasn't a good idea to drive while whacked out on demerol, but the good thing about demerol is that you really don't care, or remember most things! lol
