Secret Agent Man

In other news, still doing well. I'm a bit sore and tired today, I've switched over to using all ibuprofen now and it's not quite as good at controlling pain as the Tylox was, but I feel better about it. And couldn't sleep for beans last night, so hopefully tonight will be better. Other than that, I am amazingly well. The doctor said so herself. I even wrote a little bit today, first time in weeks. Felt good. :-)

Glad to hear you're continuing to improve, and that you and the doctor are happy with your progress. And yay, writing!

(By any chance, have you tried Ultracet for the pain? It's non-narcotic, but was just amazingly fabulous when I tore my chest wall a while back. Although I'm a devotee of ibuprofen myself, so I'm all in favor of just using that, if you can; but for those times when it's not enough, I really, really love Ultracet. I have a bunch, if you'd like me to send you some -- just give a shout.)

Never heard of it... is it over the counter? What's the 'real' name of the drug? It sounds like it might be related to percocet or darvocet... except I think those *are* narcotic so it must not be.

No, it's not over the counter; that is the actual brand name of it, but I'll have to check on its relation to the other two "-cets". (And I'll double-check on the narcotic aspect, as well; it's been over a year since I've taken it, so I might be getting it confused with more recent pharmacological encounters. Better living through chemistry. *g*)

Considering how intense the surgery turned out to be, I'm thrilled to hear you're doing well. And writing, too!
