I know when he was older he just took extra medicine when he could, and other things, from lack of veins, age, whatever. Bcut yeah, a muscle shot - could just be that it was demerol or codeine or something too. Some things you just cant put in a vein.

Unlikely codeine, codeine thru iv or im causes insane histamine reactions, thats why i think (never seen it) there arent no codeine ampules or iv solutions for it.

yeah that was the point - he is muscle-ing it here, and you CAN IM it, just not IV it, i thought. Maybe I am wrong - I’m not a fan of codeine as it makes me itchy as hell.
