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...

Geez, what is it with us old guys, I can identify as I have similar problems with a variety of drugs...anyhow glad you're doing well. Let's see now, sleep interrupted, physical discomfort, general annoyance resulting from severely limited activities? Sounds like you'll be in a perfect frame of mind for moderating these forums.... :biggrin:

Update - back home. Discharged on day four after surgery, which is not bad at all...

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.

Yep. Lortabs had 500 mg of tylenol, while norco only has 325mg. Considering that many people first took 2-3 tylenol, and then a lortab if the tylenol didn't work, a lot of people were screwing up their livers.

Outstanding!!! I'm guessing that you're feeling better already now that you're back in control of your own lifestyle.

Sorry, just heard. Thankful it looks like you are well on the way to a full recovery. Prayers still being lifted up.

All the best Earle

Boy, you go on the road a day or two and you miss all sorts of stuff. Get well soon, Boss.

CrimsonDollar · Feb 19, 2016

All the best to a fine Tide fan.

Glad he is doing better as I've seen him post a couple times the last few days.

Actually went off the Norco today...

After a back injury I'll deal with as much pain as I can before I ever start taking opiates on a daily basis.

Glad you're on your way to recovery.

My dad walked a mile a day into his eighties. He didn't pass due to heart failure.

gtowntide · Feb 20, 2016

No medical redshirt for you Earle. Stick to your rehab and be ready for spring ball! I'm glad you're at home and doing well.

twofbyc · Feb 20, 2016

Good luck Earle! You will be feeling much better in a few months, better than you have in a while (at least I have that on pretty good authority).
Godspeed.

BradtheImpaler · Feb 20, 2016

Glad the surgery was a success and that you are getting better. Keep it up!

45longcolt · Feb 20, 2016

From one old man to another - Way to go Buddy. It's great that you are doing well.

Actually, I'm sitting up and I've already done a "lap," after being gotten up at 3:00. They come in and do something to you every hour through the night. They don't seem to feel like "rest" is necessary for healing...

Good news they caught this early and surgery went well. I understand those 'regular visits' in the hospital from my Dad's joint replacements (2 knees, 1 hip) and deliveries of our 2 kids.

Glad to hear you're out and home. Best wishes to ya sir.

Sounds like Earl is doing just fine. I forced him to chastise me somewhat ( I deserved it) on the basketball game thread today. All the best to him.

Earle,

I know I don't know you, nor have we ever met, but it brings me joy to know you are doing much better. Thanks for what you do on Tide Fans!

RTR2u · Feb 21, 2016

Best wishes to a speedy recovery!

JohnnyCache · Feb 21, 2016

Best wishes Earle. I hope you recover quickly. You'll be stronger than before. And good for you to get off the hydrocodone. You don't need that stuff if you can help it.

To tell the truth, because of my genetics, it really doesn't do much for me, anyway, so it's no trouble to get off of it...
