Drug stories

So a funny thing happened and a first for Tim's wood flooring business. We had a woman call
and ask Tim if he or his employee stole 3 vicadin out of her kitchen cabinet while they
were re-finishing her floors. To us, this is funny. You see Tim has a kitchen cabinet full of
painkillers, tranquilizers and heaven knows what all left over from his stem cell transplant and our employee has Crohn's disease, has had 2 surgeries on his gut ,and has his own cabinet full of stuff. His mom has MS so between our 2 households, we could keep the whole damn town
higher than a kite if we wanted to and certainly have no need to steal a few vicadins. Tim assured her that it was not them. We found out later from her brother that his brother-in-law had
recently been found to have a drinking problem and apparently booze wasn't his only vice and
he saw the day they were having work done on their house as a ideal chance to steal his wife's
new pain pills she got after oral surgery whilst throwing someone else under the bus for it. Kinda sad. By the way, if you have any Ativan around, I just found out a few weeks ago, it is the best
medicine for a hangover. We had a X-mas party a few weeks ago. Afterward, we went over to
our neighbors' whose party went even later than ours. Tim is not used to drinking that much
anymore and didn't think he had that much beer but when your party starts at 5p.m. and you
don't end till about 2 or 2:30 a.m., you can put down a few brews. He was so miserable the next morning. I was surprised. I checked his eyes before I left the neighbors' at 12:30 and he looked
fine. Tim was born cross-eyed. His eyes were operated on to straighten them but he has one
that is slightly weaker than the other and when he drinks, it tends to float in. I know he's buzzed
when I see that or really tired. When they both float in(this is rare), he's toast and it's time to cut him off! So he had this terrible headache and he was super nauseous. I said, "what the heck, let's try something from the
old cabinet." So I gave him 2 tylenol and 1 ativan and it was "good night nurse!" The boy was
out cold for 5 1/2 hours and when he woke up, it was dark again and he didn't know what hit him but he felt MUCH better. So the last funny drug story happened just awhile back at a
football game Olivia was cheerleading at. The mom of another cheerleader has some medical
problems and we talk shop a bit. She has lung issues and tells me that she wound up with some
fungal pneumonia thingy and I said, "you mean aspergillosis?" and she said "Yeah, that was it!"
Aspergillosis is something that used to be fatal and MM'ers and those going through transplant
can be at risk. It is also something you can get from smoking pot which is often contaminated with the fungus. This woman is 49, has a 19 year old and 11 year old twins. So kidding around
I said to her, "better stay away from pot," and she turned to me and said "WHAT?!!" I knew
she was too hip to be offended so I was surprised when she stopped watching the game and
looked at me so seriously. Well, it turned out she had smoked pot at a party. Hadn't done it
in many years and someone offered and she figured "what the heck." I laughed. I had been just
fooling around and it turns out she never knew this, why would she, but I guess I'm glad I
brought it up cause she has enough medical problems to deal with and could have gotten this
again and never known the cause. Ya just never know who parties hard. I am such a tea-totaller
compaired to most. I used to think I was pretty hip. My husband assures me I am SO not.
I guess I'm getting old.
