Naw. I had to give him 20 laps today and prove that my bowels were working. Then, I get to go home in the AM...

Maybe a little TMI

Glad everything is still working. Hope you do get to go home and get some rest.

Actually now you have to inhale - and they start it the first day. I've made a bargain with surgeon about what I have to do to get out tomorrow...

Last time I was in it was more like making a deal with the devil.

Which is the same as what was called Lorotab. That is actually a little bit discomforting for a couple of days. Wish you well. If you are on for a week, it will mess with your temperature control and digestive system and worst part if your body making pain fighting endorphin's naturally, slows that down, which is the withdrawal.

You have natural pain control, if not enough, take supplement, but your body will stop making as much, takes a few days to adjust. Good luck!

I was surprised they were calling it "Norco." I thought everyone just used the generic "hydrocodone," instead of Norco or Lortab. I've actually been off and on it many times with orthopedic surgeries. I have several bottles stuck back at any given time. The main reason, is that I have a mutation in the enzyme CYP450-2C19 which metabolizes many drugs, codeine, for one and hydrocodone is a close analog. You don't tend to take much of a drug is if just doesn't do much for you. Some drugs, I'm an ultra-fast metabolizer of, Vallium for example. With Nexium, the statement was "It is doubtful this subject can attain a therapeutic level...

Norco has less tylenol in it than lortab or vicodin. It's pretty easy to get toxic levels of tylenol, since it's in so many other medications.

It's a good thing that you do not become dependent on them easily if at all. My father just had extended shingles at at 82 and took hydrocodone for the first time in his life, for 2 weeks and went through a huge withdrawal. My mother thought he was dying, and as soon as I heard the symptoms, hot and cold. can't get comfortable, can't sleep, digestive overactive, I got to the bottom of it real quick. I told he would be ok in a few days. Also interesting that they are finally understanding that woman react stronger to some medication way beyond body weight, especially the opiates. They gave them too much for a long time, and it made them sick. Glad you are better!

Godspeed Earle- hope you get well soon

hang in there young feller!

we want you back, earle.

Good luck Earle on your recovery. A few of us on here may have heart problems after the last NC game! Rest well.

Thinking of you and praying for a speedy recovery!
