Thanks, but I'm very lucky and have a lot of friends and family taking care of everything from finding a surgeon to filing tax forms to suggesting Biotene for the horrible dry mouth that left me unable to whistle.
I've been off the opiates for a while--they tried a wide variety of such stuff, from dilaudid to fetanyl and even morphine, before settling on oxy. Mostly I look forward to the muscle relaxants, flexerill and gabo-pentin (at least that's what they sound like). They stop my legs from marching on their own and squirming.
