After living with a morphine pump for over 7 years, I can't believe just how much of a difference they make. When my battery died on #1 after 5 1/2 years I had to go without the pump for a few months because of other rather invasive surgeries that were taking place at the time. Those 3 months without this rather sizable device were horrible yet once we got the 2nd one turned on I too have been blessed with remarkable pain management. It's not a panacea, and you might even find yourself still taking oral narcotics like I am, but these things really do work.

Congratulations! The best days are really ahead! Bob.
