Hello!
I am scared to death. I am a chronic pain patient and take hydrocodone and soma for very excrutiating pain. The other day I had taken my medication and then forgot to eat. I was on the road and stopped at a green light and kind of zoned out. The police pulled me over and gave me a field sobriety test - which I don't know the results of - and a breathalyzer - which I had zero BAL. They took my purse and searched it and found my medication. Then they arrested me and I had to go to the hospital in hand cuffs so they could take a blood sample and to take a urine sample. After about 20 minutes into it I was totally with it and I was very compliant with the police. I saw my an attorney today and he said that I should not had submitted to a blood test or a urine test. He said that I will probably loose my license or have it suspended or something. I am so upset. I have never even had a ticket and I am 48 years old. I am totally embarassed and sometimes wish everything would just go away - (meaning ME). I am very active at my church and a muscian. I am scared to death to drive (I have 45 on this ticket) until my court appearance. I am worried about going to jail. If I had to go to jail - I would just die. Any thoughts?
