Yes, I am having abdominal surgery. Four months ago I had surgery to repair five hernias, and now I have another one. The past surgeries are what started my vicodin addiction in the first place....you know, take them for pain and then get addicted. My husband has also had surgery and takes vicodin, but does not abuse it. Both of these posts are things that have happened in the past 2 days. And again, I just joined here two days ago. It's like everything is happening at one time.
