I USED to be a heavy pill popper.... Soma & Fioricets. I'm an addict but I've made my doctor's aware of this & haven't touched the stuff in a couple of years. I HAVE been abusing Tylenol PM's, but have cut down drastically. I've told them about that. They did a blood test on my liver & it's fine.

I'm getting a D&C. I'm going to have to be put under because I've never had children, so my cervix is too tight. I smoke a few bowls a night, & sometimes add a couple of bongs. If it matters, I'll be 44 next month. I'm allergic to Lidocaine, so I don't know what type of anesthesia they'll be using on me.

They mentioned something about how hard it would be to wake me up from the sedation & said I can't even smoke when I get home that night!! Please tell me this isn't true!! And do I REALLY have to stop after tonight?? They said I can have a couple of drinks on Thanksgiving, so I don't get it!! I'm so worried about not being able to sleep, I'm talking myself into it, I'm sure. But I also love getting high!! As we all do!!

And yup, I'm a pretty heavy cigarette smoker too. I think I'm allowed to have ONE the morning of the surgery.
