Better to have 'em & not need 'em etc.

I had a bad run awhile back with a kidney stone, polyps pulled out of both ends and back problems. I had a pretty good stash of stuff after awhile.
The kidney stone was the worst. The surgeries actually didn't cause a whole lot of pain after a short time. With the back pain all the Percocettes did was allow me to sleep a couple hours.

I don't do pain. Rather to have a few left over than deal without 'em.
