Demeral AND beer?

It was a Saturday night and I had just fallen asleep. What is that noise? It's my cell phone, something must be wrong. Groggily I wake up and search for the phone which is right next to the bed. Hello, it's my mom and she is nearly crying, Sheila can you take me to the emergency room I have so much pain, something is not right. Let me get some clothes on and I will be right there. Thankfully she is only 5 minutes down the road ( 8 in the dark). She had back surgery 8 days ago and is in the recovery stages. There is no one else in the waiting room so we never have to sit down and in only minutes we are in a room. Then she sits down, very gently. 5 minutes later a doctor comes in and listens to her situation. He rubs his chin and hesitates a few minutes and says let me get the nurse and I will need to have a look back there. That means lying down and that is when the intense pain happens. We look at each other with that knowing look that doom is about to happen. Here they come and carefully and slowly she lies down on her side with minimal amount of moaning. After checking he says I don't see anything out of place and it looks like it is healing well. I think what you are experiencing is the nerve endings coming back to life. Now it's time to sit up. With two of them helping her the pain is excruciating and the moaning is so loud and she almost passes out from the pain and another doctor comes in. Two doctors and a nurse are glaring at her with worried expressions. She is standing because that is the position they got her in. Oh my gosh it's terrible to see her hurt so badly. And there is nothing I can do! One of the doctors suggests a shot for the pain and she puts her hand up and shakes her head no and says I already took my pain pill. I said mom I think you should take the shot it will help you. She hesitates then agrees. So they all went out and one of the doctors comes back with the shot. She is sitting on the bed again and right in the hiney she gets it. Now we have to wait 10 minutes or so for it to take effect. We are chatting quietly and then she really starts chatting and occasionally her words are sloppy. Then she says I think this is starting to take effect because I am feeling a little --she was at a lost for words so I filled in--drunk? Yeah and we laughed and yack yack yack yack. She would change the subject before we finished the first conversation. She was funny. The doctor came in and told her to go home, rest and to call her surgery doctor monday if it continued. We'll get you a chair and wheel you out of here in just a minute. So I helped her to get dress and got our purses and went to get the car. SheIS funny when she is loopy. She had some trouble getting out of the chair and into the car and situated but she is such a trooper. I know she is still hurting and what can I do? We are driving slowly through downtown and the lights are blinking yellow and red since there is little to no traffic every night. She is sort of mumbling and says what is that place? Oh, it's a bar, a nice cold beer would be good once in awhile. I laughed and said sure let's stop for one that would be good with your demeral. We chuckled and she continues about how a cold beer once in awhile is so good and it's been so long since I had a nice cold beer and once in awhile I would love to have one and I probably drank enough beer to last me a life time already. As were going down the highway Scot is calling to see if she is okay and I told him she wants to go for a nice cold beer and he is laughing and says we can stop at Archie's on the way home. Its a little country bar down the road from her. And she says yeah we can go in their and do Kareokee. Boy wouldn't that be something. I can't sing and she can 't hardly walk and she is dopey as all get out. She is going to sleep good tonight. I get her home and I help her change and I tuck her into bed and prop a pillow behind her back to support her if she rolls cause that's when the pain hits. I kiss her goodnight on the cheek and say I don't know if I have ever tucked you in bed before mom? I love you, I love you to honey and thank you. I tell pops good night and wait in the car to make sure he gets the lights off okay. As they slowly go off from room to room I know they are securly safe for the night and I go home to crawl into my own bed. Pops tells me she was sound asleep before he got back to the bedroom.
