Hi, everyone..
Tom has given me a list of questions for you. I know I see you all throw out the names of a lot of medicine, but since we are true rookies, we need a little guidance here.

1) What PAIN MEDS did you take - for what specific needs?
2) Which worked best for you?
3) What side effects occurred
4) Did anyone have any problems with addiction?

We really thank everyone for their information on getting ahead of the constipation problem. He was really on top of things this go-round - thanks to you. No problems smile

He was taking Roxicet for the pain following the multiple biopsies. Wasn't really keen on it, and is interested in what others took. Will he (I) have to be concerned about any other real pain other than sore throat?

It is getting late - but it was a nice day.
Thanks for all your prayers today, too! Hope you felt the ones we said for you smile They are definately the best gifts we've ever shared !
