Thank you. If you can do it so can I. I will follow all the instructions from the dr. for sure. I go today for PCP, then on the 18th PP. I do want to try to get down as much as possible. I have DJD, in my ankles too, so at some point I will (meet my feet) again pain wise. There must be meds that arn't opiates that work. I really want to do this. ginnie

Dear Tara- You are such a precious soul, and your concern regarding the difficulties of all of these interplaying emotions, fears, what will happen afterwards is truly a struggle with which to deal, and yet you have a true inner strength borne of faith which sees you through these things. Two threads is perhaps a comforting way of handling your times as surgery approaches. It will pass. Your recovery will occur. I pray and hope that all, ALL, will be well. Time is sure to tell, of course, but all you can do is give it your best... a quality about you which I know is certain. You just do. I have faith God will watch over you.
Dear Ginnie- Pain med withdrawal is such a road, not easily walked. There can and probably will be a number of withdrawal symptoms associated with the withdrawal, but with your doctor's guidance you, too, can make it. I have. There are withdrawal assistive meds which can and probably will be prescribed to help you in making the switch to freedom. I have dealt with diarrhea quite a bit as the intestinal tract has been working to normalize absent morphine, neurontin, percocet and others. I just take it a day at a time. Maybe I am nearing the end of Montezuma's revenge. I just hope so. Hugs all around, Mark56 |
