Hi redra, I decided to reply this way as it was a long time ago and what happened to me was not my fault. There very well may be others out here with the same problem I went through and you are now....

OK PaLady, no more pet stories. In my opinion people who suffer from chronic pain will continue to loose pain meds due to pets, rodents and silly human error. I get a bit peeved that we have to agree...
