So, I was telling my father how the Ultram I have taken for the past few days for my “female” pain did nothing for the pain and made me feel the same way Codeine does, groggy, light-headed, and generally like crap. And that the pharmacist warned me that, since I have allergies to Codeine I could have the same reaction to the Ultram. He looked at me, put a finger up (meaning wait a minute), walked to his mountain of pill bottles and handed me a bottle saying, “Here, try this. It should help.”

It was a bottle of Percocet, or should I say the generic version of it, Oxycodone.

Me: “I can’t take this.”
Him: “Why not?”
Me: “I’m allergic to Codeine?!?!”
Him: “That has Codeine in it?”
Me: “?!?!”
Him: “Huh, I didn’t know that.”
