re: #64 GeneJockey

Yeah, I had minor knee surgery some years ago and since I was warned to ‘stay ahead of the pain’ I took the first 2 doses of Vicodin they provided me with. I couldn’t stand the drugged feeling and remember how great I felt when I stopped. Too much pain to sleep, but I still felt better than I had.
Then came the knee replacement (where I experienced the charms of morphine.) Tylenol and ice were much, much better.
