So, I did manage to get my prescription filled on Saturday, through the blowing snow and crappy roads. I thought they were going to give me vicodin with codeine, but instead, I got generic hydrocodone with acetaminophen, like the ones I had before. The only difference is, they have 7.5 mg hydrocodone instead of 5, so I don't have to take as much. They also only last 4 hours, a fact I found out the hard way today. The meds wore off right about 11:15 or so, which happened to correspond to when I started a shift at work. Fortunately, I only had to work for 45 minutes, so I managed to deal with the pain for a bit.
I do work again tonight, but I'll make sure that I'm prepared.
A bit of a side note; yesterday, I had my regular mid-back general pain that is caused by my scoliosis along with everything else. I really don't need that pain to be coming back, too. I managed to keep my back from spasming, which is good, since that would have compounded the issue. I seem to be doing okay today, but we'll have to see about later on.
