Hang in there Chris! My surgeon took away the good pain meds and put me
back on low dose oxy + acetaminophen. The *******. Seriously, though,
take it as long as you need to, and in my case, if I still need
stronger, I'm going to look into pain management. I'll go by his
instructions if I can but I still have more pain than I need to have.

The appetite sure seems to come back. The sleeping well, not so much.
