Thank you Aqua.........I don't need as many, or as often, but I still am taking the pain meds. I took 2 before I went to bed last night, and had only taken 2 all during the day and I've only had 1 today. Considering I'm allowed to have 2 every 4 hours, I think I'm dong pretty dang good :)
I am a firm believer in taking pain meds for pain. Unbearable pain is not something one should have to cope with, we're lucky this day and age to have the alternative. You shouldn't need them much longer. In the meantime enjoy the rest, that's the upside, you get to catch up on some rest. :)
