yeah, I have to admit it was fun, but it's not for every day. There's not much else to do in the hospital anyway, lol, except try to ignore your roommates television. The thing I was the most grateful for wasn't the painkillers, it was the earplugs one of the nurses found for me.
Not sure how their guidelines go, by the way, but several times I had nurses tell me, nope, it's too soon for more percoset, but you can have oxycodone if you want....wierd. Something about different chemistries of the drugs I guess. Right now (two and a half weeks post-surgery) I still carry some around with me in case I get one of those massive pain-bolts, but I try not to take any in the interests of public safety, since I am driving. I guess what I was thinking was that I could see how in a case of chronic pain, someone could become dependent. But then there is always switching to a different type for a while, or... something... 30 a day, wow, you need massive denial to get to that point before you realize you have a problem. Especially when you are ragging on other people who have the same problem, I mean, what does it take to not see the parallel?
