JK: Hope you can convince one of your physicians to prescribe more pain meds. With your track record, going back years, if you’d be a candidate for addiction, you’d already be hooked. Between shoulder surgeries, knee surgeries, and involved dental procedures I have been prescribed Oxycodone or Percocet on 6 different occasions, never got dependent, never needed (chose to) take all the was given. Still going to the wedding?

Thanks for asking! Yup! I’ve decided I will drive the golf carts around, taking others who can’t take the walking, and live it up as best as I can. And I will ask for pain meds as I need refills.

@ellerbracke I agree, I have had these medications so many times with no problems that I think that should be considered.

Yep, I went to the wedding and it was beautiful. There were numerous events prior to the actual wedding so I overdid it every day and had to really rest every morning. We are at Denver airport now, way too early for our red-eye flight (shall I say long story?). I am looking to two or three days of just resting it.

I had enough tramadol to see me through the weekend, taking usually one a day in the morning. I can be less active at home so I will be able to handle the discomfort better with just Tylenol - limited to 2000 mg a day.
