収束ゾーンでのライフ: Life in the Convergence Zone

I don't imagine (and have had no indication) that things have changed since I had my surgery under the same MD and in the same facility (different wing, though).... and, no, they're totally cool with the pain mgt thingy... they had her on a PCA (she mentioned it), and she only mentioned "ow" once and in the same keystrokes mentioned pushing the button, with no further complaints...

No, they seem to have very much the same philosophy this side of the S&W line, at least in Cascadia...

Mother's thinking (and she's an old-school RN) is that it has as much to do with time on the stuff as anything, and that if you're only on'em a few days when you really need'em, it's normally a non-problem.

(Of course, I like the fact that I'm so responsive to naproxen that once I'm past the need for IV-based meds I can go straight to that, skipping the narcotics, and I'm totally fine... matter of fact, I can't remember *ever* having to have prescription-grade analgesia outside of a professional building. Including the time I had a tooth extracted.)
