I swam 1,000 yds in my usual 31 minutes. It seems my times are pretty set in stone now.

Crapola, I'm on my third day of tramadol in place of oxycodone, and I'm so disappointed I could spit. The tramadol gets rid of the pain, but keeps me as wide awake as if I'd drank a quadruple espresso. Crapola. Does anyone know of any other mild narcotic that isn't schedule II? I'm going to go ahead and try the morphine and see how that goes, but I hate having to pay to see the doctor every time I need a refill. There has got to be a schedule III narcotic that will work for me. I've tried hydrocodone (dizzy & nauseous), tramadol, and I think that's all. Okay, enough grousing. I'm going to bed to read for the next 7 or 8 hours... mad

I'm going to post the above rant on the main forum to get some more input.
