I sympathize with him. I hope he does well, no fun for sure. When dh had his
wisdon teeth pulled, lots of milkshakes, and like your Don, a few good belts
of whiskey instead of rum though, refused pain pills. As far as lifestyles
go, I really could not be more happy when others are happy with their
choices when it comes to loving someone.
