......and he's afraid of opiods. I posted about 10 days ago that he took a nasty fall down some stairs and was knocked unconscious. He had broken bones in his arm, wrist, and hand. He had surgery for those on Wednesday. They attached the bones with metal plates. Normally dad would refuse any pain medicine but I told my mom to make sure he at least gets a RX for something even if he doesn't get it filled. At least it's there if he changes his mind. He's afraid of them due to their addictiveness. He quickly decided that he needed the medicine. I had a metal plate put in my hand and it hurt like hell for 3 or 4 days. Then it slowly started easing up.
I'm a recovered pain pill addict and I was introduced to the drugs by having surgery. Lortab was my vice. At one point I would take 150 mg of hydrocodone in an evening to get high. I guess my dad is scared the same thing will happen to him. I told him to just make sure he's taking the prescribed dose and as soon as the pain goes away to throw away any leftover pills. My problem was that the surgeon wrote the prescription for too many pills giving me a good stash of leftovers which I abused. Then I hooked up with an unethical "pain management" doctor who would flat out ask you what kind of pills you wanted and what dose and the would write the RX.
I think my old man will be fine knowing what mistakes I made. I think surgeons should pay more attention to the post operation pain medicine that what most of them currently do.
