I think Judith really focused on the "real" issue--which is monitoring yourself or, if necessary having someone else monitor your appropiate use of pain medicines.
I suppose what I am saying is that pain happens and it is sometimes inevitable that you will take medication for a medical problem. It isn't the type of drug you need information on, since your MD can answer that, hopefully. It is the addict within that needs support now, and I think you have been very honest since you have come here on the boards. I mean, you have been super honest with some hard to deal with issues.
You rock, and I think Judith's words are really the ones to keep in your bag, wallet, or whatever is with you when you do have your surgery.
I will pray for the pain to not be overwhelming to you, okay? I know how scary it is to anticipate what it will feel like after it is all said and done.
Welcome again to SR, and keep posting!
