5mg oxycodone 1-2/ 4-6hrs

I'm now down to a couple at night mostly to help me sleep, and one or two during the day if the pain ramps up. It's weird how I can go a day or two w/o pain. I seem to metabolize the shit really slowly.

Mum said (to us not to her) "I've never tried sticking it all over my tits before, have I?"

Talking of Mum I might even email that to her - she loves messy pics (and is miserable as Grandad is in hospital - see Upset Thread )

I love that, she should have told the nurse. Sorry to read about your Grandad, it sounds consistent with Dana's experience with elders and national healthcare.
