    Well, make the most of it. No doubt some discomfort but enjoy the time off.

    Thanks, pain is pretty bad. Will probably be worse when this nerve block wears off.

    If they don't give you any pain meds, I have found the liquid lidocaine works very well. Good luck.

    They gave me oxycodone and hydromorphine. It's finally eased off some.

    Oh, I still have pain. They are very strict with pain meds. You get 5 days worth and no more. Then it's only Tylenol and ibuprofen.

    Be careful. Opioids can bind you up. Stool softeners can be your friend.

    Just got word that a member's sister, Christina, is in the hospital. She needs some strong prayers for healing.
