[Guest guest]

On Monday, the medical school here is sponsering a free talk by Barry Meier,

NY Times journalist who " explores the troubling issues rained by OxyContin, a

arcotic orginally manufactured for cancer patients and chroinc pain sufferers. "

I have an appt with a surgeon to have a facial squamous cell removed (and my

stretched out and torn pierce ear hole sewn up) right before it but I am

hoping to get over to hear this guy. I am on this medication, as many of us are,

and i hope that this guy's ranting about it isn't too upsetting. I considered

not going but figured it might be interesting. Lordy, i hope it doesn't worry me

more than I am about being on it.

If anyone is interested, I'll try to remember enought to report back!! Uh oh,

what did I say I would do? And I think I might remember enough of the lecture

to tell you all!! Ha! Good luck!

Hope the snow doesn't cancel it.
