Thanks! I stopped taking the pain meds. In the hospital I complained of
all sorts of symptoms and they acted like I was nuts. Like... Stop
scratching! You're not breathing. Breath! And also the overheating. Got
home and looked up the med. All side effects. I feel MUCH better without
it. The pain is lessening every hour. It's mainly just a problem when I
need to move around or cough because there is bruising. Thankfully, one
little freezer has nothing but ice and ice packs in it.
