So, this morning I decided to up the ante on the IB's to 5 and oddly enough that seemed to do the trick. For today anyway. It doesn't thrill me that I've consumed 15 in the last 12 hours, but the reduction of pain is nice. Dr. Buly has assured me that I can't burn out my liver in the time that I have remaining, regardless of how many I take.
I'm pretty hell-bent on not taking any opioids after I get released from the hospital. In the past I've taken Tylenol with codeine on one or two occasions post surgery. That seemed to be OK, so if I reach a breaking point, I'll allow myself to take one of those. I don't want anything stronger. I'd rather do without them altogether.
