just thought i'd log in and give everyone a quick update. please forgive the ramblings found in this post because i've just chewed up two lortab 5's and imma bit looooooo-peeeee 
so anywho, i guess i'd better backtrack a little bit here... friday when i left yoos guys i had a pretty nasty migraine that i'd been dealing with since i woke up that morning. i had called my new pharmacy and asked them to fill my prescription for zomig so i could get some relief as soon as i left work. well, when i got there to pick it up they told me that i would have to go to their other location because they didn't have any there. so... i went to the other location and they told me that they couldn't fill it because the insurance company was telling them that it was too soon. (i haven't had this prescription filled since august 8, 2007 so there's NO WAY that it was too soon!!)
so i called milner rushing (my OLD pharmacy ~ DO NOT USE MILNER RUSHING FOR ANYTHING!!!!) and they were extremely nasty towards me, cussing and laughing at me and hanging up on me while i was crying and wailing with a killer migraine exploding in my head. finally the NEW pharmacy called them to find out wtf was going on since i couldn't get any information out of them and turns out, those idiots filed my prescription as a 15 MONTH supply instead of a 15 DAY supply and that's why it wouldn't go through. (MORONS!!!! they also messed up my carafate back in october and told the insurance that they gave me a month's supply when they really only gave me an 11 day supply and then messed up my lortab elixer just last week and wouldn't fill it because they said the insurance said it was too soon even though i was in PAIN and was going to CASH pay it!)
so... i no longer use milner rushing and i highly suggest that if anybody lives in my area and uses milner rushing that they switch to a different pharmacy ASAP because these people are going to seriously hurt somebody with their negligence one of these days!!!
i finally got my prescriptions filled and went home. my head was still pounding and i was afraid that i had waited too long to get medication and that i would need to go to the er for a shot. my girlfriend came home about 30 minutes after i laid down in the bed (her grandfather died thursday and i had to drive her to hunboldt, tennessee thursday evening to be with her family but she had to work saturday so her uncle brought her home) and i just laid there crying and crying because it hurt so bad. but it came in waves so a few minutes later i was okay enough to get up and fix her something to eat (she hadn't eaten since lunch the day before so i MADE her eat even though she said she wasn't hungry) and then i ended up having to take ANOTHER dose of my zomig AND half a vial of phenergan gel AND a dose of some other pain medication that i have but i can't remember the name of it right now and i finally went to sleep.
when i woke up saturday morning i still had a lingering headache but not the migraine that i'd had the day before. i didn't have any more of my lortab elixer since milner rushing wouldn't fill it so i had to take my girlfriends lortab 5's for the abdominal pain that i was having all day saturday. and it got REALLY BAD saturday too!!! my girlfriend got off of work at 6-ish saturday night and we went to wal-mart looking for a vcr/dvd combo and the hook-ups for it so we could watch movies at our new house and i was hunched over the buggy the entire time just praying for us to leave soon! so when we wrapped up our wal-mart trip she just went ahead and took me to the er where they gave me a shot of dilaudid/phenergan and sent me on my way. they said that if the pain was still that debilitating the next day or if the dilaudid/phenergan combo didn't work then i needed to come back to the er ASAP for further testing.
so we went home saturday night and the dilaudid/phenergan did the trick and i got some good rest until i woke up sunday morning. katie had already left by then (the viewing was yesterday afternoon and the funeral is today) so i couldn't go back to the er even though the pain was as bad yesterday as it was saturday. so i just kept on chewing up lortab 5's and hoping that the pain would just go away. i'm not sure how many lortab 5's i took yesterday though which is REALLY scary. especially since i was still in so much PAIN! but there were 15 in the bottle saturday morning and only 4 in the bottle this morning. so somehow between saturday and sunday i chewed up 11 lortab 5's and was still functioning and still in extremely intense pain.
and here it is, monday morning, and i have to go to the hospital for my pre-op testing in about 45 minutes. i'm still in pain but guess what? when i got on the scale this morning it said 114! weird... that's 10 pounds below what i weighed the last two weeks at the doctor's offices (and their scales are the same as mine) but still 6 pounds above my lowest. so now i'm wondering, is this going to be like taking a car to the mechanic? it knocks and knocks and knocks the whole way up there but as soon as the mechanic gets in it purrs like the first day you got it? so... i'm hurting and hurting and swelling and gaining weight but as soon as my gyno opens me up **poof!** i'm magically going to be healed and he won't find anything???
so now what?
