Thank you all sooo much for the very good advice, I Love you all for taking time to relate your experiences and well wishes.
I am praying Wednesday morning comes soon and that my pain management doctor will be generous w/ the pain med this month!
I am willing to take methadone but am afraid Fentanyl patches are so strong with so many side effects that I would rather avoid those.
Thanks again, I feel richly blessed to recieve all your good wishes and concern.
Many hugs to all,
Russell
