Lortab is Crack

After the yanking of the tooth, the dentist prescribed my husband a pain reliever called Lortab

This drug is supposed to make you tired and sluggish and sort of out of it. It's a friggin narcotic akin to Vicodin for crying out loud!

Anyway, today was the first day post extraction, and the first day on Lortab. My husband went INSANE!
He went out and cleared the whole yard of pine needles (we have an acre of land), rearranged the rocks that line the driveway, watered every living thing on the property, hauled garbage around, cleaned debris from the manzanitas (which are like magnets for trash) etc etc.
He spent ALL day outside cleaning and clearing and making the yard nice looking.

In his defense the yard looks fabulous...however...

My husband is now borderline crippled. He threw out his back, he's sick to his stomach, he's tore up.

For some reason, Lortab, instead of making him sleepy, acts like crack right to his dome. He's nutso on the stuff.
After he crashed from his Lortab high, he swore he was never going to take it again.
It's very scary.
I kept telling him to rest and relax, but it was like he could NOT do it.
Hopefully, he'll sleep a ton tonight and be able to relax tomorrow.
I guess drugs affect different people in different ways.
I'm thinking of stashing some of those Lortabs to use when I need stuff cleaned up, because it really works as a motivating tool :) I kid.
