Pain levels are rather uncomfortable, but thanks to rather heavy loads of oral narcotics plus my morphine pump (I just had my 2nd one installed a month ago), I usually keep it at a level I can live with.

Anytime I'm just about to loose my mind in pain, I go out and find something I can do for someone I love or care for, because when I do I always get en endorphin hit that gets me through the rougher spots. Give it a try, and you'll see for yourself it really does work! Bob.
