Hi WD,
older people have wierd ideas about pain meds. It's almost like we're going to rip them off or kill them with it. My Dad wouldn't take anything stronger than tylenol when he was dying of non-hodgkins lymphoma. It is proven to improve the healing process.

There is absolutely no way I would have gotten through this without major opioid, long term pain management, medications. I never once even felt anything even resembling a buzz - it just took the edge off. Why suffer unnecessarily? She's obviously tougher than I am!
