Truly awful. Now I'm in the process of unhooking from Oxy and that is no picnic either. It's fargin' awful! I don't really have the care system around me to help, and it's been a horrible time for me. I still can't really walk yet either. So, now I'm on the acetaminophen and Aleve for pain while in Oxy withdrawal. And no job, no income, no sick pay, no significant care, nothing. Really, things can't get much worse. The doctor's attitude to all my problems seemed to be to prescribe more and more Oxy and in higher and higher doses. And now, I've got to unravel it all. The only good news, is that OHP covered it and I have a new knee.
Hope it gets better for you.
Thank you. Yes, the one knee has gone quite well, but there is the other knee...it needs replacing also, and it's a big step to go through again. Having no income, little help, indifferent care, and a long recovery. Yet I keep meeting people dancing jigs on their replacements after just 4 weeks. Not me...that last one had me down for at least 3 months.
