Raymond - I'm so glad to hear you're back home from the hospital. I think you said that your surgeon was Dr. Carlson - the same doctor my son had for his surgery. Please do make sure and call him or have someone call for you. Just explain that you really need to get some relief SOON and if Dr. C is in surgery or something, they do have other doctors that can look at your chart and prescribe something. Have the drugstore # handy so they can phone it in. I notice that Colleen had a similar surgery to yours and how great that she was ready with so many good suggestions! Things will get better. Let us know what happens.
