@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.

@sherrym25 thank you so much for your support unfortunately I just contacted Sutter health in Sacramento and I was told unless one of my surgeons in Phoenix license in California also will submit a order or request to dispatch a Home Health nurse or any support after surgery unless I can find a doctor licensed in California I won’t have any coverage at home ?

Sorry, I’m doing this on my phone and I’m not used to it. Hopefully, you understood what I tried to say. ?

On my way back over to Mayo for EKG

@sherrym25 I think I read I know I read this and your journal about the pain medication not working properly and having to try different ones.

I just don’t think I’m gonna have anybody. To try the first one much less changed to a different one.?
They was pretty clear that they can’t prescribe pain medication’s for me across borders!!!
