Purpleroses,
I am glad that to here that your surgery went well
Things will get better, really they will
On our program they have a liquid pain medicine that they start you on the second day after surgery. It tastes really really bad, no sugar at all so it is bitter, but it is very effective. I used it during the day and night during the first few days home and then just at night. Two weeks post op I haven't taken anything in about a week.
I hope that you feel better, hang in there.
Kathy T
