You can never have enough...

I remember my husband going through that surgery at Rotorua hospital back in the eighties. He had stretched the ligaments grasping tools on the log line at Wood Panels in Taupo and could no longer open and close that hand. So off he went, driving himself over for the surgery the following day, and back a few hours after, still numbed out by the pain blockers, but without a script for ongoing pain control. On a Friday. Those wore off by evening and I was out tearing around Taupo madly trying to find an after hours supply of decent drugs - he was in agony. The local hospital finally came through with a few tablets and we both got some sleep.

Next day that damned fool man was out weedeating the front garden...

Still makes me laugh to this day.
