I posted today before heading out to TX and did not expect to see my RO or else I would have waited. He was equally surprised about that nurses comment. Ironically, he then wrote me a prescription for TEN 50 Mg Fentanyl patches - instead of the 25 mg ones I used last time. He wanted me to have them on hand and stressed that they were the best way to keep the pain from interfering with my recovery. Plus he wrote a script for liquid percocet to save me from crushing them like I do now for the PEG. I did have to have them both filled at the Hospital pharmacy as the chain pharmacies in my area had already told me it would take a week on special order. Perhaps your nurse knows of issues getting them filled in your area and is trying to help,
