Dolores' mom :rolleyes: ,

As the body adjusts to the Fentanyl, Ken will hardly know it is there other than not feeling the intense pain. I drove to work 400 miles away with 150 on and even drove back in the middle of the night without scaring myself or anyone else, that I know of eek . My work was accounting and I was able to perform my duties fine, too.

I used liquid morphine for the breakthrough towards the end and it did more to make me loopy than anything.
