Boy I find these drugs a bit scary but you have all helped. But don't worry we will be careful. He's on oxycodone at the moment for the dental work he had yesterday so we took the opportunity, after checking with nurses that they mix ok, to start him on the fentanyl patches today. Tiny little buggers aren't they. I think the doctor gave him a very low dose as Steve seems to have a higher pain threshold than other people plus he wasn't even taking panadol at the time the doc gave us the script. So our doc thought start him with the lowest dose and see how we go. So for the next 24 hours I will be watching him closely for any side effects. Probably give him a complex because I will be watching him constantly from the corner of my eye.
