I was speaking of your comments on opiods


I had shoulder surgery too, in 2014, and the surgeon (actually, his PA) would come in, whip out his script book and say, "Don't you need a new prescription?." Having a wife who is a well-read retired RN, I avoid opiods and opiates, and my wife and I have found that we can get by with Tylenol very soon after surgery. (She's had ankle replacement and fusion surgeries, and back fusions.) If we both had followed the directions of our doctors, we would have taken more of the heavy duty opiods, and for a longer time, creating a risk of addiction.
