It sucks to be ME

poppin'






I realized this morning that I’ve been popping a crapload of pills a day, some are vitamins, some are controlled substances (narcotics, rx, etc):

2 - 600mg IBUPROFEN (for swelling)
2 – 75 MG LYRICA (for nerve pain)
3 – CALCIUM (with magnesium) PILLS (for bone growth and strength)
3 – FLAXSEED OIL PILLS
1 – VITAMIN B COMPLEX PILL
0.5 – 5/500 VICODIN PILL (to help me sleep and for fun…er, I mean… for pain)

Total daily pill intake: 11.5

I also calculated the # of Ibuprofen pills I’ve taken since my surgery… 168 pills in 8 weeks. That’s 3 a day for 56 days. That’s a lot! I wonder what my liver looks like now…

    Well, your liver might be shot but, on the bright side, you're heart should be super healthy!

    ...oh wait, I think that's aspirin that prevents heart attacks.
