@ianthealy What did they do to you? I might have some recently learned advice. I see you don't live in Gilead so you can get a medical marijuana card - better if you got set up before surgery. A few edibles now and then, not enough to get really high, can eliminate the need for those dangerous addictive opiates which are your only recourse in red states.
@ianthealy Understood, and I'll be on the lookout for some good memes instead. Leaving now with a single recommendation: when you do seek advice, put the very least reliance upon random Internet strangers like myself, and more upon people and institutions you know and trust. All the best to you in your recovery!
