Matti will be otay... eventually.

XJ550H= Chuck Norris level

 

Either that, or REALLY ugly!
Sorry, couldn't resist.

The pills are also giving me rage issues. Combined with nightmares I have been having, I am frightened by sleep. The other night, I woke up screaming because I thought my 2 year old son was trying to kill me. We are shipping him off to Grandma's house.

 

Call your doctor. There may be a better choice of painkiller for you.

 

Ditto on that call man, many choices to help.

 

Sorry that I'm late to this post Matti and I do hope that you heal well however long the recovery takes. One thing that I'm doing right now for chronic pain issues is to keep a journal of when I take the meds and how I'm feeling at the time and how I've felt since the last dose. I understand that the meds can affect your perceptions of your surroundings especially with the rage and so on. The journal is also a great way to track what you have been doing, moods, sleep patterns etc. The worst part of follow up visits is when the MD asks how you've been doing, like most people the automatic answer is "I guess I'm OK", so the MD keeps prescribing the same stuff. So take the journal in and show him/her what has been happening and they will get a clear picture of how your recovery is going. Even if you don't keep it fully up to date you still have a record of what has been going on. I sometimes miss writing down parts of the day and find it difficult to remember when I took the meds and how I felt, other times I have a clear head and can fill in the blanks. I know this is a bit long winded as replies go, but I thought sharing my experiences as others have too may help you get to the other side and come out on top, handling everyday life and most of all keeping your family together through the hard times. It may seem a long way off, but things will get better. Money may be tight and bills and debts may mount up (been there, done that) but a few years from now you and your family can look back and say that this was a bad time but we came through it together. For now just put all your energy into getting better, once that has been achieved then healing all the other stuff, bills, debts, emotions etc. can begin.
I wish you and your family well and know that everything will resolve itself with time and work.

 

I had the same type delusions

 

^^^^ that. Really.

I heard that medicinal grade marijuana can help with resting/ recovery. Just sayin’...

Tramadol is a decent non-opioid pain reliever - not sure if it is strong enough for what you are feeling.

 

Works better for me than anything else I have taken although it's considered a step down from oxy

 

Been testing the product for decades. Trials are ongoing. I'll notify you when I find a strain that I don't like.

 

ain't nothing worse than getting beat to death with a teddy bear

 

That's why it's called
DELUDED

 

In order to prevent me from becoming addicted, my wife is attempting to use shame. She calls them Dial-a-dude, like some type of stripper's delivery service. You'd think she would know that Matti don't got no shame.
I took my last one yesterday. Hardly even climbing the walls!

 

I cancelled the insurance yesterday. I have nothing but good things to say about the process. Riders Plus- Echelon Insurance out of Toronto had the lowest prices, the agent was highly sympathetic, and they were able to process my cancellation request in a matter of minutes via email, even though my policy was set to renew in 2 days. I didn't have to deal with them for a claim, but every interaction I had with them was easy and stress free. If I ride again, I'm going with them.

 

Matti I really hope you eventually will ride again . I went several years between bikes for various reasons financial, raising 2 kids etc , the itch finally was to much and I'd buy a bike work on it and sell it on . That is till I got my Seca was going to sell it on , but like it so much I'm keeping it . Perhaps one day you will get the itch and get back on , but you can still contribute we would miss your wit and input.

 

I haven't had an xj in over a year, and I'm still here more than the Rebel forum. I'm here for the people AND the bikes.

 

Well good… At least you have your priorities straight

 

Dude I’m glad to hear you’re making it through. Keep looking where you want to go and you’ll get there.
You’ve got it right, it’s the people AND the bikes that make this forum work and you’re one of them. I love my Seca but I’d never get anywhere with it without this lot.
Cheers and we’ll be with ya for the recovery bro!

 

more like Mongo than Chuck

 

Here ya go Matti, get a his n hers and you'll be style'n

@MattiThundrrr: Get well soon.

I was on oxy after my hernia operation the wife took them away after 2 days. I thought she was being mean but totally understand why she did it.

 

Wow. I got a hernia fixed and threw in a vasectomy as well, they were having a buy one get one free sale. Lolz, one in the guts, two in the nuts! All they gave me was a prescription for xs Tylenol. How do you prescribe something that's sold over the counter?!

 

Here if it's prescribed then it's subsidised and far cheaper

 

That's true here, depending on what insurance plan one has.

 

..i only coughed and it posted this... WTF?

 

You mean if it's prescribed the insurance companies have a record of how much of a drug addict you are and can use that information to jake up your rates.... and then sell it to the government..

 

I guess I didn't think about insurance coverage. I was just mad cuz I already had a bottle in the cabinet

 

1. No, I don't mean that at all. The last time I had a OTC decongestant prescribed it cost me about 20% less than just going in and buying it. My rates did not change as a result.

2. No politics. There are plenty of other websites for that.

 

plus when prescribed an otc drug you can pay for it with the flex spending card

 

It's not politics, it's insurance companies I'm talking about not any particular policial party.... but this IS off topic both of XJ Bikes and Matti's well being so I'll just leave this here in case he needs something to read while he's getting better Interesting read I thought is all...

Indeed. I have young kids. Children's Tylenol (OTC, obviously) is in the medicine cabinet constantly. I have a standing order with the pediatrician for a script so I can use my pre taxed (flex) money to buy it. The price is the price. No discount.

 

With the subsidy here on prescribed medicine I haven't ever paid more than $5 regardless of what type of medication or how much of it, this is Government funded and not related to any personal insurance

 

I mentally moved to New Zealand 20 years ago..
