1. Yea it does take a while to clear that stuff. Then they give you pain pills .

2. if you're out and about

and you find an extra last thrursday, please return it to me. ......I lost it somewhere back then.

They never tell you about that part, just, Hi! I'm your drug guy. You'll be going under in just a few, don't really know
when you'll be coming back over though.

3. The pain pills went down the toilet at the earliest opportunity.

4. I had a knee replacement last year

The pain management was excellent. They gave me a sedative then a spinal. 8 hours after the surgery they had me walking with a walker. I went home the next morning with great meds that managed the pain without any side effects or possible addiction issues. I needed them for about two weeks after which the remaining pain was minimal.

Good luck with your recovery!
