Emergency Surgery

[cpdave]

Well guys I was doing real good then bam my gallbladder took a dump and had to have surgery at 7am yesterday morning.Now to problems first it was the size of a gratefruit so it wasn't a simple removel they had to make a 6inch incesion thru my abdominal muscle and the surgeon gave me 7.5 tabs for the pain lol so I ended up back at my old pain doc out of desperation and he gave me percs and oxy.I have noone to hold my pills me and my wife r seperated now.Need advice and I'm in a lot of pain. Thanks guys

Just wanted to check in.Went to my follow up with the surgeon yesterday and he told me I would be off for 5 weeks I exploded and told him noway after some back and forth we agreed on the 7th as long as there were no complications.The reason he wanted me off was because of the excessive cutting he had to do but he agreed I was healing extremely fast he just wasn't used to a patient wanting to go back to work.lol.So we are tapering my meds as my pain level is decreasing and I'm going to a meeting tonight.Hope everyone is well and keep up the good fight ya'll.
