I am so ashamed of myself and my story but I need help. Background info: I was prescribed narcotic pain meds years ago for a bad left knee and back from years of being a HHA and LPN. After time, my prescription was not lasting and I would get from friends or be without and believe me, those days sucked. Just recently a few months ago, I am sooo ashamed to say, I work doing home health and I called in prescriptions for a couple patients for narcotic refill scripts that they didn't need and I used. Not that I am justifying my actions, but they were called into the dr. office as my patient needing a refill of their monthly pain meds, but the patient didnt need it. Their script probably would've lasted for months but I called in for a refill knowing they didn't need it. So the patients didn't know I called the prescriptions in at all. I only said I would do it once just so I could get by until my next script but one time turned into two into three or four times for 3 different patients. It was easy to do b/c you just call into the refill line and leave a message and they write the script. I subsequently stopped on my own and still got caught. I was arrested. Never before had I been to jail and I spent two days in jail before I went in front of a judge and b/c I had no previous record, i pleaded guilty for a misdemeanor and i am being put into a drug diversion program and probation. I never imagined i had a problem and what i did was wrong until this happened and never will i put anything like this before my kids and husband. my problem is is that i was excited to start this program and get on track and then i got a call from detective today saying that i pleaded guilty to only one count misdemeanor theft but don't forget i have several other counts b/c i didn't do this just one time but a total of 8 or 9 i think and call if i have any questions. what??? why was i seen before the judge and they gave me this program to do which i am soooo thankful b/c i need it and i have never been in trouble before but it only be about one count of drug theft and not all? i am soooo worried what will happen b/c i had no idea. I thought we were settling everything all together isn't that what happens right? Or is it if I mess up they will charge me with all the other ones b/c their all the same, deception of drugs i think it's called. Can anyone help me to understand i'm freaking out.
