drinking, smoke, and the medical feild
|
drinking, smoke, and the medical feild good morning, i hope this finds you with that secret smile on your face. My pain meister (the physical therapist) came by early this morning. Evidently, I am progressing quite well. He said my doc would be happy with my progress when he saw me on tuesday. He also felt the doc would be releasing me to drive and go to out patient pain meisters. I hope i can talk my doc into letting my pt come to the house. I just need to be checked on to make sure I am progressing. When I was in the hospital when the hospital doc stopped by to see me. I let the hospital and my docs, know what I actually drink, and that I smoke weed. I guess the doc, and my pt as well (i found this out this morning), and I am guessing more of my medical people thought I had been drinking beer and smoking weed all my life. Not so. I started the beer, 7years ago when I got divorced. I made the conscious decision to learn to drink and like beer, versus fruity drinks. I drink only couple of beers a night at the most.. The doc had a conversation with me the first day in the hospital, wanting to know if I could go without drinking. I looked at him like, why not, I don't drink that much anyway. According to the united state government, although I may, may at the most drink a 1/2 case of beer (12) a week, I am 6 over the limit. I am an alcoholic. yeah. The doc also prescribed folic acid and some other shit I don't take, because of said alcohol. I'm like, no, i don't take these pills while at home, why take them now. After enlightening my PT as to the fact I just started drinking regularly 7years ago ad smoking weed regularly 3 years ago. He was like really. He thought I had been doing it all my life as well. Does it matter how long I have been doing what I do. Hell, they would absolutely die if they knew about my sex life. Lord only knows what they would be doing then. I am a responsible person, that works, and takes care of themselves. Have been since I was 17. I drink responsibly and smoke weed responsibly. I even take their damn precious pain meds responsibly. I didn't realize the stigma attached to the drinking and smoking weed on a regular basis until I started witnessing people's attitudes towards me, the last couple years. Especially when it involves weed. I will say this, given the chance to do it, I would have given my mother edibles so she would eat after chemo, versus watching her starve to death because she did not want to eat. I say, if it works, I am healthy, not hurting anybody including myself, what the fuck. That's all I can say.

it's been one beer, and sometimes none. It's no a need. if drink beer, i don't eat. believe it or not, i use the beer to keep weight in check. if i eat and drink at the same time, i get heartburn. I know some may look at it wrong, but i eat two great healthy meals early in the day............thegrls Enjoy the ride searching for what you want here..........thegrls

My Dr used to be doing the exam checklist, "do you drink?", no. "drugs?" no. "do you smoke?" not tobacco. THAT used to get me an odd look.  Enjoy the ride searching for what you want here..........thegrls

This may be an odd question, but I have to ask. If you openly admit that you smoke marijuana, why does your profile say you don't use drugs? In most states, marijuana is still considered to be an illegal drug. If I smoked dope, which I don't, I would not indicate that I don't use drugs.

Smoke, is a plant that grows anywhere. if you pick it and eat it or smoke it, it's properties will do what they do. Pretty much everything else out there including alchohal is altered to make a person crave it. My doctor said I as doing the best thing for me by smoking the weed. I don't do it everyday all day long. During rehab, it was used for two weeks straight, instead of taking the pain pills, that do not work as well. I consider it a natural alternative to what the big pharma push on people. You consider it a drug, and i do not. Do you, take any kind of pain meds, or muscle relaxers, etc., those are drugs. A cigarette to me is a drug. You and I have had this discussion before, it is a moot point for me. it seems to bother you more than it does me. If they had a place on their that says do you smoke weed, I would say yes. thegrls Enjoy the ride searching for what you want here..........thegrls
