I have about decided (given my own recent experiences) that the only thing prescription painkillers are good for is putting you to sleep. Which I suppose achieves the goal -- I mean, if you're asleep you can't feel the pain, right?

On top of that, they can stop up your digestive works, which I wasn't told ahead of time.

So I sympathize. And am really, really glad you're feeling better. Keep it up, kiddo!
