fandomnumbergeneratorI had been wondering if my mother really was oblivious to my history of drug use (as opposed to suspecting but not wanting to talk about it). But all the bottles of pain killers all over her house pretty much answer that question. It’s actually a little distracting.
And also a little worrying. She’s so incredibly nonthreatening (if you ignore the military-grade passive-aggressiveness) that I don’t think her doctors have talked to her seriously about the problems of taking high doses of opiates for so long. At one point, after she’d gotten a cortisone shot for her knees, she decided to stop taking all the other pain killers for a week and told me that everything hurt and she was worried that her arthritis was starting to hit her other joints. I told her to talk to her doctor because it was probably just a reaction to stopping the oxycontin and she just blew me off.
