Drug Arrests
Carl - Thank you for being so professional in your resonses. It is nice to see there are some people who join this to offer good solid advice.
I don't think my son purchased the vicodin from anyone. I think he took it from me. I had shoulder surgery March 1 of 2004 and was sent home with loads of pain medication and anti-inflammatories. Vicodin was the pain medication. I had it refilled two times I think. I am checking at the pharmacy today for a print out of my prescriptions. I dislike taking that stuff but sometimes you have to. At any rate, I took some off and on during my period of rehabilitation which was quite long. I had to have a piece of bone removed from my clavicle also and it was a very painful recovery period. Three months of physical therapy three days a week.
At any rate, I would not have missed any of it, because I had no reason to track anything. Every time I took it I got loopy but it did help the pain. I would never had suspected anyone would be taking any of it. My son lives with me, but works five days a week and when he is off he usually trades stocks on the computer. He is on the computer constantly.
So - I feel really bad about this.He did tell me his tooth was still hurting him and I told him to call the Dentist and make an appointment. He had already been back to him several times to have adjustments done. Obviously it didn't help. This is a good kid (despite what others say), and yes I do want to help him. When something like this goes on your record it is devasting. I am calling his Dentist Monday and explaining the situation. He has been our family Dentist for 20 years and I'm sure he will be very upset at what has happend. I don't have the money either to pay for it all right now, but I know when the Dentitis hears this, he will offer and much more inexpensive charge to do the root canal because he is of outstanding character and really does care about people. He has been my son's Dentist since he was three. I will pay the difference. I am not going to lose my son over this. It was a bad mistake and 21 year old kids make them. I also have copies of all my shoulder surgery dates and insurance statements that I can show. If you have other advice please help. This is a chance to save a good kid.
