scooter you dont know how close you are to being dead on.im addicted to this pain med bad. but to tell the truth i dont care. without it i cant get out of bed because of the pain. that bike wrecked killed me but i just havent layed down yet.the meds do put the pain on the back burner but it never goes away. ive tried to do without it but the pain gets so bad.and then comes withdrawl. now that there is another story..lol my wife and i have talked about this . the addiction doesnt matter as long as i can keep my meds comin .ive been on methodone and oxycodone for 8 yrs now.they told me id never walk again. wrong they told me id never ride again wrong.ive built a lot of cars and bikes since my wreck. and they didnt even think id live. wrong on all counts.im going to be 58 in sept. and i know that that is about as far as im going. i hate it but damn man what i ride.!!!
