That's what I heard too. I know first hand about back pain (fractured spine) and can attest that the temptation is there. I would look longingly at my pain meds, give them a little wink and a nod, and say "see you soon when we go to our happy place". It didn't take me long to realize that I had to stop taking them and I flushed them down the toilet. I still have the pain but I no longer kneel at the alter of pain - I just go on with my life and do the best I can and hope it gets better soon. I hope Paula can do the same but I think she is still taking the pills because she is still slurring her words a lot of the time.
