*Laughs* I have enough hydromorphine to choke a horse and about 150 sleeping pills. Getting meds is not an issue, thank goodness.

I don't know if the length of pain as a result of the shyzotomy is the same seeing as I did not have the full on burning of the nerves. I do know all the gouging into my head with the thing they use to do it with has made the nerves angry and painful. It's like stirring up a hive of wasps. I see my doc on the 4th (or sooner if I am in intolerable pain) and I will certainly be discussing how this is or isn't working for me.

I hope your surgery and results are smoother than mine! Let me know how you do.
