going to have surgery at 10 years sober
I haven't been on this forum in quite some time. In July I'll have 10 years sober from booze.
I'm having a benign tumor removed from my neck next Friday. When the subject of pain meds came up, I told the nurse that I was a sober alcoholic and was concerned about the pain. She said that I can talk to doctor just before surgery to discuss the options.
Drugs are a very tiny part of my story and is limited to pot and only when I was drinking. The idea of taking oxycodone is pretty scary, though.
Does anyone have any thoughts or experience?
