@jakedduck1 I love it! Why did you stop the fentanyl patch? Did the doctor replace it with something else? Becky

I quit the fentanyl because I was tired of taking so many powerful medications so I thought I’d try and do without it. I also had some Dilaudid which I liked better. The fentanyl didn’t get rid of the kidney stone pain but the Dilaudid did.
My doctor ordered me some Percocet which is not strong at all, at least not for my pains.
What’s so weird is when I had a kidney stone the nurse said they would give me Tylenol. You can imagine what I thought about that but it was IV Tylenol which she said they give to patients with broken bones. Of course I was still skeptical. But to my amazement it got rid of my kidney stone pain. The nurse said they seldom use it because it’s so expensive.
I walked 1.6 miles today. I should go out and walk some more but I know I’m not going to.
I’ll find strength in pain,
Jake
