That's it -that's all your taking? Just morphine?!?!?! Morphine is a fast acting short term opioid (used for breakthrough pain) - you need to be on a long term opioid as well such as Duragesic or oxycontin.

The sores were tough, hurt like hell and the narcotics caused indescribable constipation. I would push for better pain management then talk to a nutritionist about constipation management as well.

I can't even imagine eating in a public restaurant (or even going to a public place this early in your recovery). First off your immune system is trashed and you are highly susceptible to colds, flu and opportunistic infections. Cold or flu could cause pneumonia with a compromised immune system. I lived on a liquid diet for months, but I had chemo also which makes the sores even worse.
