Rule breaker

Rule #1 of how to live a semi-functional life with chronic pain: Always have a supply of prescribed painkillers on hand.

So there we were, sitting down at the Brewers game when I began to be very uncomfortable. Reaching into my bag, I realized that my painkillers were in my car. Note that this was during the first inning. Also of note is the fact that Miller Park has a "No re-entry" policy! So, as I debated what I would do for the next 3 hours sitting by myself in the parking lot while my hubby, brother-in-law and sister-in-law were watching the game, my hubby grabbed me by the hand and led me out of our seats so we could figure out how to get to the car. Fortunately, there is a re-entry policy when you need your meds. They only let one person go, and they thankfully let that person be my hubby. I don't think I looked like I was capable of making it there and back at the time. All in all, we only missed an uneventful inning.

How is it possible that I could forget this crucial piece of my well being? Well, because I have a long list of things that I need to go anywhere, especially for a baseball game. I'm now working on a specific baseball game checklist so that I can try to prevent this situation in the future.
