Excellent, Kathy. If nothing else, I bet it will help him to sleep more soundly. Please send him my best wishes. Maybe he would find a little story about our experiences amusing. When my husband was using Vicodin during toward the end of his TX and for about a half a week thereafter, I drove him to work as he was pretty fuzzy on the drugs. He hated it. I can't, it seems, drive properly (not that I'm the one with accidents on my record, but what of that). So with the driving as an incentive, he dropped the vicodin entirely. Drove himself to work and back, then had withdrawal symtoms all night. He was a very sad puppy. While I wasn't terribly sympathetic at the time, it did his spirts a lot of good to drive himself.
