always hopeful,
Yes, I am very aware of why she is making me pee in a cup. We have talked about it. I used to think it was funny. I told her when I met her that sometimes I would take one of my dog’s Tramadol. I wasn’t hiding it.
My husband sees her, too, so she knows us pretty well.
I thought she had lightened up on me at one point. She was injecting steroids into my hip- in-patient procedure in hospital. I was offered some Valium and declined it. I also opted to watch procedure on screen.
She seemed to see that I was willing to do all kinds of things (hip replacement) to deal with pain. I thought we had a breakthrough. Nope. I saw her a month ago and had to pee in cup.
