I know without a doubt she will start feeling better, and that the pain pump will probably work better than just pain pills.
One thing I have noticed is that my brain is alot more clear without the pills. Food tastes better, in fact my waist size increased about 3 inches due to my love of food again lol.
I am hoping I can get my bottomless pit feeling under control here before I turn into the pillsbury doughboy
She will be in a bad mood for a few days a she gets used to the lower doses. The doctors should reduce the dose every few days by a little bit, not by half at a time. Unless they will give her a faster acting opoid to help with the wd's. I know they must go faster because she is in the hospital. This will all be a memory soon, and she will love the new her.
