wow, only tylenol lolligrump? that is the first i have heard of that, LOL!!

and a week for juanitad and 2 weeks + for kate....sounds quite variable. There was another person who was taking pain meds for about a month and then still needed one just at night for almost 5 weeks.

it really sounds like i am just going to have to see how i do as far as pain meds go. i am so nervous about this whole process now and i suppose there is no getting around that. i have IVIG all next week and then pre-op appts and PICC line changing and dressing every 2 days due to problems with the adhesive on my skin--all that will keep me busy right up until surgery.

any advice going in would be greatly appreciated : )
