SURGERY

hi everyone...i have missed you all.  i just wanted to post this and ask for some prayers as well as some support.  tomorrow i will be having my much dreaded surgery.  it will be very painful and the dr will give me pills and insist that i take them.  i am very nervous about taking them and worried about liking them...but i will have my hubby keep them and hand them out as needed.  my goal is to take less thaen prescribed and for a shorter period of time....wish me luck and keep me in your prayers.  thanks

i have told the dr about my addiction.  we had a long discussion and he thinks my body will focus on pain and not healing if i dont tke them for awhile.  i am having a disc replaced in my jaw...i had the other one done last march and i know the pain is severe.

HI all the best on your sergury.You said the dr. wil (INsist you take narcotic pain pills) I have had a resent hip-refurfacing and aside from the morphine drip for a day or two,no dr. insisted i take any pain-pill,it was quite the opposite!!!!! Tell the dr. of your Dependance/addiction and then see how much he Insists you take the pills.

Cathy,
You will be good! I am going going threw oral surgery right now myself. 8 hours in the last 4 weeks of oral surgery to be exact! It painful and i have been givin pills to help with the pain. I do not have anyone to hold my pills so it was all up to me! I was so scared but you what..i'm doing great!! At first anytime i even had a thought of takin extra i remembered how long it took me to get here and how hard it was! That was like a kick an the ***! Now i have people tellin me not to suffer and just take one!! LOL!! No way will i ever let that happen to me again!! You can do this girl!! I have faith in you and you have a great support system at home not to mention all of us here!! Stay strong and take care of yourself! Keep us posted!!
hugs,
Jen

Cathy,

You are so strong and i know you can do this. I worry more about you not taking them when you are in severe pain than you taking them for the wrong reasons. I will be thinking of you and sending hugs your way.

Luv ya!
