Proud of the Scars That Make Me Stronger
The before and afters are shocking me. It is amazing how quickly I already forget what it was like to have a crooked lean to the left and how easy it is to accept the new straighter me. I am recovering very well though and very quickly. I am on oxycodone 15mg every 4 hours and various stool softeners, gabapentin, multi-vitamins, and Tylenol; however, my body seems to be accepting them very well. Addiction is a concern when someone is on drugs this strong; however, it is important to note that when pain killers are taken properly and not in excess your body will not become addicted. It is the abuse of drugs that causes addiction. Already I have found that I am able to reduce some of the 4 hour oxycodone to 10mg from 15mg which is an excellent step.

That's a scar to be proud of for sure!! Btw, it dosn't hurt getting staples removed. Or mine all the way down my hips didn't hurry at all! I can't believe how straight you are!! And yes for pain killers I wouldn't worry about addiction. That's great that you're already able to reduce the amount. It's a balance I think between toughing it out a bit and taking enough that you can function and actually recover. You're doing great!!
