You have to stay ahead of the pain. Follow the doc's orders as to how often and how much. If you don't take the meds the pain will get a LOT worse then you will be playing catch-up which is not pleasant. --R On 10/6/14 4:37 PM, Mitch Haley via Mercedes wrote: Craig via Mercedes wrote: P.S.

Re: [MBZ] Surgery [was: Re: R-12 versus R-134]
When the wife had her hip replaced they've her the self-regulated morphine drip. The only problem was that she couldn't sleep, since if she did she would wake up in pain and only be able to get the measured dose. How is your pain? Rate it on a scale of 1 to 10. I think that was a mantra that every staff member in the hospital chanted when the met you. Not a bad thing at all, just sort of weird to me (I've never been admitted to a hospital or had surgery since I was about 7 years old.)

Resist the urge to go cold turkey off those powerful pain meds. Silly me, after I had both knees replaced at once I decided I could handle the pain and wanted to be off the drugs. You need to taper off or you will feel really sick.

Re: [MBZ] Surgery [was: Re: R-12 versus R-134]
That's the drug combo they gave me, I took it faithfully for the day of the laproscopic surgery (hernia #2) and the day after, then I went to plain Tylenol. The laproscopic recovery was, for me, quite easy compared to the full cut gut treatment for hernia #1.
