Yep...for family member’s who’ve recently had surgery....I’ve strongly recommended/insisted no pain meds after 2 days home. Switch to Advil/tylenol, etc. Or...wine....if necessary “-)

I had three abdominal surgeries in 2 years. They prescribed me painkillers after each one. I took one when I got home after the first surgery, and decided I didn’t like the way they made me feel. I didn’t enjoy feeling groggy and drugged. Threw the bottle away, and never used any of the scripts they gave me after the other two surgeries. How people can take those on a regular basis and feel good is beyond me.

Yeah, right. Have you ever had a 16 hour surgery. They would need more than wine.

Maybe for bunion removal.

Of course I don’t know what kind of surgery they had.
