I actually have a walker that I am going to borrow from family, my step-dad had hip replacement surgery a couple of years ago and still has his. I need to borrow a long handle paddle for the kids, on second thought, maybe two lab size shock collars with a remote control! (Disclaimer: I am not serious, kids will be with family so I can get some REST... which is impossible with them in a 5 mile radius). I think I need to take out a second mortgage to buy all the stuff I need after surgery!

Ok, so get this, I weaned off the morphine twice a day; only took a week. Well, I call my pain dr. (here in TX) and ask them to call in my new Rx for Vicodin 6 times a day. I tell the nurse that the dr told me to go up to 6 a day from 4 a day as I weaned off the morphine, then to work on getting that down. Well, those jerks tell me that I am having surgery on the 17th (Holy Sh*t, Are they joking? I had no idea that I was having surgery!) and that I should be on no more than 4 a day. Pieces of crap, they are not even the one doing the surgery. That dr said I should cut down as much as possible, which is pretty subjective. I can not wait to be better and be done with jerks of pain dr's. Oh, and I hope they have really bad back pain someday and their pain dr treats them just like they treat others. (yeah, I know hateful, or as I like to call it karma)
