Eve, that is terrific news. I am absolutely sure his interaction with everyone will improve dramatically as his pain diminishes and then vanishes. If he has not told you, more than one patch is many times necessary. At the height of my burns, I am pretty sure I was using four at once. Please let us know how he is doing. I am so very anti-drug, but after I experienced Fentanyl, I know that some drugs are VERY good.
