Guest guest Posted October 17, 2000 Report Share Posted October 17, 2000 thanx ette, for all you said. Wish you could have come up north and met with zoey with us, it was so much fun, and it might have helped to make up your mind.! I am really excited, now I just feel whats gonna happen next to slow me down.. 's law sort of. Trudy Pain Hello All-Just thought I would throw this in as food for thought. My husband has had several major surgeries. His knee, his back and partial amputation of his foot. In 1977 he was riding my new Harley sportster and was hit by a train. The train ran over his foot resulting in the amputation. We found out during this period of time that even though they were giving him much pain medication nothing was helping. They then switched from morphine to demerol and that did the trick. We have tried one time since and his system accepts Morphine like aspirin. He has to have demerol to combat severe pain. Demerol can be given though the same pump. Just thought I would let you all know in case, for one reason or another, you think you are not getting pain relief when you should. (He is doing great now). Trudy-I love following your excitement on here. Cannot wait until you cross over and start your journey to a new life. Know what you mean about the eating just to eat and being too depressed to go out because of how you look. Won't be much longer. Just think how beautiful you are going to look in your new Easter outfit, and how about checking s Secret out for Valentines day for your hubby. Best of luck, am with you in spirit even though I have not made up my mind yet. ette in Southern Indiana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 1, 2004 Report Share Posted August 1, 2004 Hi everyone. I am extremely new to this. I just got approved about 4 days ago and was wondering about the pain issue after surgery. I'm having the surgery done laprosicly and thought maybe one of you could tell me. I was wondering how long I should take off work and class. Any message would help. Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
