Re: Upcoming Surgery - Time to Taper?

Thanks, y'all. Very good advice.
I'm trying to taper down to 6 hydros per day and go from there. Sounds like a LOT, doesn't it?
Thanks again, Lumbar, for your support. Black Cat, I remember when I had my mastectomy, I had the presence of mind to sneak in some hydros in a Versace lipstick case (they're shaped like a cylinder with a cap on the end.) Well, hubby found them and asked the nurse what they were! She said she didn't have time to look them up in the PDR. Whew! I was in agony until I was able to move my arms enough to reach into my purse for them...
Funny how the morphine/demerol drip didn't help me. Why's that? They just didn't give me ENOUGH??
Any other suggestions as to where to hide the meds? Jacket pocket is a good one IF you are able to get out of bed to GET to it. Perhaps I can cut a slit in the inside of an old pocketbook and put the meds in the lining....
Thanks again, guys. I really appreciate your replies.
