@sherrym25 the more I read the more. I am sure that I will need all the prayers that I can get the pain is going to be severe.

@rwdixon4 Yes but remember everyone is different and they process pain meds differently.
If you are in pain then you need to tell them that they need to up your dose or switch you to something else. I was rotated between dilaudid, fentanyl, morphine, and go figure, it was oxycodone that worked the best and for the longest period of time. My body processed the other drugs very quickly.
Also, make sure your pain is controlled by mid day for them to make changes because after day shift goes home, the on call night doctor usually won’t make any changes.
I believe you are going to do well.
