Shards of glass
Grinding
Nausea inducing
Bent over stumble
Dull deep ache
Continual, persistent
Muscle all connected
Sleep, relief
Throbbing, between
glass and ache
Always throbbing
And that’s with the Percocet

There are drugs, and there are real drugs, Dannen. My chemist heros(scientists) work their butts off to lessen the agony of pain. Women have greater pain thresholds, I met elderly ladies who endured knee replacements without pain medications, walking about the day after, gardening within a few weeks. absolutely no pain! Men, however, this is seldom the case. Morphines are the gifts from otherworldly gods, hard liquor is a menace. NO PAIN IS GAIN

I agree that women can take some pains better than men. I'm afraid of alcohol and morphines, but I might make an exception after my post op visit on Wed. I've never experienced anything like this before. Don't want to do it again either.

nope ... taking advantage of the percoset affects and kicking the caffeine habit. mostly by choice, partly because it wasn't within reach. Hubby would have delivered, but this has been a goal of mine for years.

Yay! No caffeine, no Percocet, minimal pain ... Now I have to exercise to be ready for PT.
Don't get old, guys. Avoid it at all costs!

Thank you, I am definitely on the mend. My appetite is back, so those lost 20 pounds will find their way home soon enough.
