Hydrocodone is one of the drugs they tried on Joe's back pain...helped for a 
couple days and then nothing :o(
Wierd though...Nembutal is what they used for Devon's IV sedation when he 
had his ABR (also what Marilyn Monroe used to "kill herself"). I thought 
they were different though??? Are you talking about Oxycodone perhaps for 
the other one??? They tried that one on Joe too and it had no effect :o( 
Heck even Morphine had no effect on Joe...didn't even make him dopey or 
tired :o(

>> the nurses call you a drug addict.

That's what they called Joe too (actually they tiptoed around actually 
calling him the name...they just implied it in as insulting a manner as they 
could)...even though he had to turn in the unused portion of the drugs when 
they didn't work. There were at least 2 times when the nurse he turned them 
into "forgot" to enter it into his chart and then the doctor would refuse to 
write a new RX. When Joe emphatically insisted that he HAD turned them 
in...and to which nurse...the nurse would all of a sudden remember that "oh 
yeah he did turn them in to me". Lying dope dealing buttheads!!!!!
