The hole in my chest was big because the tumor they were removing was huge. They broke a lot of ribs in a lot of places and tweaked muy spine pretty bad. 13" incesion and 32 staples, my back looked like a zipper. At first pain all the time after 5 days they sent me home with oxycodone and percocet. I would deal with the pain until after dinner and then take a percocet and if gave me enough relief to sleep well. Since I had both (oxycodone and percocet) I alternated them. That is how I discovered percocet is so much better then oxycodone. Don't know why, it's just oxycodone with tylenol but it works so much better. Funny, I was worried about oxycodone being addictive and all. But it didn't make me feel "good" or anything like that. All it did is slowly, very slowly relieve the pain until it was bearable or slightly better then bearable. Within a half an hour of taking it I was feeling better and within an hour I could think of other things without being aware of the pain. Iy was still there but not so bad. Unless I sneezed, god that was painful.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7507051756134115711.post-68429399170449630932012-02-01T09:56:33.773-05:002012-02-01T09:56:33.773-05:00My father (spider bite) and one of our riding budd...My father (spider bite) and one of our riding buddy's (ended up in a wheelchair after a car dragged him and his bike)had to have the similar thing done.

And from now on, next time you think you are sick go to her first, Doctor second. Okay, don't mean to bitch, but you needed it. All these good people have been praying non-stop, myself included. Get someone to get one of the talking books for Little Bit to record her voice on. Maybe that will make you feel a little better in between your meds. Nuff Said--you need to read between her lines. You know what--they can tell when you are not yourself! I hope you are getting better each and every day. Thanks to Duke, your good friend for reading his blog for updates has been great. Now, before I go getting more sand in my eyes,/ please Get Well Soon. We all miss your blog-- every bit of the adventures, insight,faith & guidance, directness, and joy of living.
