Halifax is where I found my new 'pusher man'!


Well then... you never know where you'll find a doctor that apparently knows something about what's ailing ya, do you?
This morning I spent a couple of hours in the Neuro-surgery unit at the main Halifax hospital. Couple of pain/ Neurology Specialists who deal primarily in Neuropathic pain. That's the kind I've grudgingly come to know.
So ... it turns out that the question of the day - dear reader - is this: What will a recovering Heroin addict and I soon have in common? If you guessed Methadone, you'd win the cigar! Though I don't actually have a cigar - I don't smoke, and would counsel you to quit if you did ...  so this whole contest thing is only a metaphor... allegory... whatever? I digress. There IS NO CIGAR!
It looks like the following 'better living through chemistry' compounds - also known as best practice in pain management - may find their way coursing their way through my body in the very near future:
Methadone - to replace the morphine I presently use;
The addition of a 'cannabis' based compound in pill form - regrettably without the buzz; and finally the addition of an Amnytriptolyne compound... all the better to try to control this fu*ked up skin pain that the lo’ MVA brought about.
All to say, I am very encouraged by what these folks had to tell me this morning. I will be interesting to see how soon and in what order these drug trials will begin to occur, and what results they may yield. After almost six and a half years living with this particular monkey, I really am looking for a chance to replace my all to familiar monkey with a sparkling, brand new - more effective - one.
Now onward into my week end… I'm looking forward to spending some QT with # 1 & 2 together with the BFFs. I see a dog park, a dinner out and perhaps a movie in my future.
I do love this part of our wonderful country, so missing M & Winnie can be tolerated. I suspect that M will be just as happy for me to be out of her hair in any event, especially since the entire place in Ottawa is fast becoming sewing central in advance of the forthcoming nuptials.
That’s it for now. Have a great easter everybody! With luck the bunny rabbit will be good to all you girls and boys.
