Well, the pain meds work now, they didn't really for the first week. The pain from the bone graft site in my hip was so bad that the percocet didn't touch it but I had no way of getting a new RX from my doc cuz he's 1 1/2 hours away, I can't drive and my friends all work during MD's office hours. So I sucked it up and then it started to get better. I liked morphine when I had it once for a kidney stone because it didn't make me sick like the percocet does. However, they don't hand that out if they can help it. Oxycontin is the only narcotic I haven't tried yet.

Yes! I have drifted off mid-sentence several times and sometimes I only get half-way through a meal and I fall asleep. It's great for weight loss though! I've taken off 10 lbs since the surgery cuz I have no appetite. Percocet is great like that, it kills any desire I have to eat anything and interrupts my ability to finish any food I start on! However, last night I was determined to enjoy my first night out in weeks and my friends kept me from falling face first into the communal dishes!
