Greetings Grumpy Pants!

Welcome to OCF, glad you found us, sorry you had to!

Well a big "Howdy Hello" from just across the river in Idaho! I'm soon to be a WA resident again (lived in Seattle for many years) and still spend a lot of time in the state as I just live on the border.

As far as the pain management issue goes, no narcotic is an issue through this experience, your dad is a f'n stud. I see you are using Marinol and several of us on these forums haven't had a great experience with this drug. A few have but I'll tell you I'm not a fan, especially when you're in a state that has favorable marijuana laws. I actually first used MJ for pain and nausea, among other issues, when I was being treated at the UW medical center. It should help, just vaporize or ingest, never smoke it, for me it's been fantastic for pain.

Anyways, plug into the amazing caregivers on these forums they are amazing and supporting and I'm proud to call them my friends. Best of luck to your father and to you, be sure to take care of yourself in this process too.

Keep your chin up!

Eric
