Sitting in my lift chair after taking some Hydrocodone and trying to nap that feels like an eternity but actually only a couple minutes. I'm fried. lol

Wait???

You mean you haven't done a 15 mile forced march yet with full ruck?  What the hell are you waiting for, up and going soldier...get your ass in gear 

On the serious side, I am guessing you've been given orders to get up and start moving, walking...I would say as much as you can handle without hurting yourself, I remember getting out of my recliner the first few days was a careful set of motions but after a few days, it was easier and easier.

I am only speaking from my experience, so take this with a grain of salt that it is...I found that being overmedicated on the opiods actually had me feeling worse that I actually was feeling...I don't know how much you're taking, I am guessing at the doctor prescribed....if it's every 4 hrs....you might try stretching it out to 5 or 6 and see how you do.....if you can get to 6 hrs and you're not dying, you might try your next dose as Tylenol instead and see if it takes the edge off...

It's very possible you need them, it's also very possible they make you feel worse....remember that difference between pain & sore and good luck!!!

@Del.

You're a few days out from surgery now, how are you feeling?  Doing better I hope.

My nerve pain is gone. Seems like I felt worse incrementaly each day. Been trying to ease off the Lortabs and went most of yesterday without any until late afternoon yesterday. Slept my best last night in bed. I quit taking the muscle relaxer as it put me in the twilight zone.  Been walking mostly up and down hallway. Just went walking outside for a short distance. I had no pain but legs are just weak. Sleep has been horrible and my time realization is way off. Think it's been an hour and 3 minutes have passed. They gave me brace to wear but it's very uncomfortable.

 And I want a cigarette so bad.

Oh I can. I didn't like how it made me feel. I only take the Norcan  once a day now.

Hang in there Del
We are praying for a swift recovery

Mark Cuban Cost Plus Drug Co.

Do a google. Doesn't accept insurance. Often beats prices using insurance. Generic drugs only (for now, I think).

Read an article on Marketwatch about them. (Link)

Some diabetes meds I saw selling for $600 (with insurance, I believe) there for like $50.

Speedy recovery Del!

Diazepam is Valium.  No wonder it messed you up.

I take muscle relaxers for my back; it's cyclobenzaprine.
