Hi, Karen,
I understand what you’re saying but Kathleen’s doctor just prescribes drugs
like Vicodin and Oxycotton all the time. That’s a good way to get people
hooked. That’s all I’m saying. I do realize that some people do have such
severe pain that they need the medications but just to prescribe them all the
time is not the answer. It sounds like Kathleen’s doctor just doles out pain
meds like they’re candy.

Well, the thing is, Rosie, for some of us, that's the only way we get some
relief. And we have to feel as if we're committing a crime by hurting so much
that we need the medication. I'd like not to need it, but since I do, I'd like
for people (certain doctors and ADA people who make rulings) not to make me
feel like a criminal.

Hi, Kathleen,
I know what you mean about taking pain meds like Vicodin. Iâm glad my
orthopedic specialist doesnât prescribe that stuff. I donât blame you for
being annoyed with the doctor. Iâd be more than annoyed. Iâd probably want
to find another doctor.

Linda I'm glad you didn't have to take Vicodin. That's what me and my
orthopedist got into this huge argument about. He wanted me to take either
Vicodin or OxyContin and I said no. The reason I said no is because I travel on
the subway and I didn't want to be under the influence of either one of those
drugs if I was traveling. He got mad and said will you just don't want to try
it. So I will and I just walked out of the office. They left the prescriptions
on the counter for me to get them and I will have to. I just left them there. I
was kind of annoyed I don't know why these doctors don't understand some of
these drugs can affect us differently and the blind people traveling we just
don't stay home all the time. That's just really totally nuts. Well I got the
Aleve. And I got it in a bottle I can open. I got the Aleve caplets. Thank you
goodness no child safety bottle just a regular screwtop that you take off. And
I'm glad I got it that way. The gentleman in the drugstore was nice. So he help
me get what I wanted and then I left and came back home.

Hi Hi Rosie,
I guess with the inflammation, my body needs a good bit of sleep, and
Iâve got plans for both tomorrow and Monday. Iâll be up early enjoying the
Raiders game and pre-game shows, well, letâs hope Iâll enjoy the Raiders
game. Iâll enjoy it if they win more than I will if they lose. Monday Gina
and I are going out to breakfast, and then at noon I have a phone appointment.
Sure canât wait till Thursday. Will have to get on the phone with Maxi-Aids
and have them send me yet another label so I can return the nonworking braille
watch. I want a refund this time. At least I didnât have to take Vikodon
this morning.

Hi, Linda,
Iâm so sorry youâre hurting. Iâm also sorry about your braille watch
not working right. I found out from a friend that Orange County Braille
Institute took out their store so Iâm not too happy about that. Thatâs
where I bought my braille watch. Iâve stayed in bed towhen I had a lot of
pain.
I hope you feel better soon.

Rosie, glad you sent it. Iâm so behind on e-mail right now as I overdid
it Wednesday with laundry and garbage and yesterday with trying to find
something, one of those suction cup phone attachments. I had to change an
appointment and found out the hard way my braille watch, newly purchased,
doesnât keep time worth a bag of beans!! Itâs going back to Maxi-Aids, and
this time I am asking for a refund of my money as this is the second braille
watch theyâve sent me. The first one couldnât even be set properly.
Anyway, I hurt so much in my arms and even my knees last night that I had to
stay in bed much of today and rest.

Hmm, I thought it was drug related but I, too, could be totally off-base.
I didnât like a lot of the music back then if I thought it had anything to do
with drugs. For instance, when The Doors did âLight My Fire,â I figured it
was most certainly about drugs, but when I heard Jose Felicianoâs version
about a year later, now that sounded like a couple having a mellow time to me.
I didnât become too involved with this one, Devon, because my perspectives
about a lot of music coming out at that time is pretty messed up. If you
donât already have âInsense Peppermintsâ by Strawberry Alarm Clock, which
was a song throwing a bunch of nonsensical lines together and not about drugs,
let me know, and Iâll gladly send it.

Hi, Devon,
I think Mellow Yellow was supposed to be a silly song if I remember
correctly. If Iâm wrong, somebody please jump in and correct me.

Hi, everyone. I thought I might finish this weekâs show with a song or
two about Autumn, time permitting. If I were to choose something by either the
Cascades or the Danderleers, would those songs most likely come from the
sixties? I have a folder of Autumn songs, thanks in large part to Nance, but
not many of the songs include years. The other question has to do with next
weekâs special on songs having to do with drugs. I have a couple of songs
that werenât connected in any way with drugs but people thought they were.
Any other suggestions along those lines? I think I should do whatever I can to
debunk rumours like that. And were any songs by either Bob Dylan or Donovan
connected with taking drugs? One Donovan song that particularly comes to mind
is Mellow Yellow. Thanks a bunch for any info you might be able to pass along.
Devon.
