Good for you but,

Do you have some kind of program that capitalizes every word? Makes your post hard to follow?

Continue to take good care of yourself on your road to successful recovery. I understand your problem with pain in your body. You are right to follow your surgeons instructions in coming off of pain medications. It is a real bother now but in the end it will make the meds you take after surgery more effective overall. Hang in there you won't regret it. Prayers go with you.
