Ally, i don't really remember, but I do know he continued to lose weight for another month. He slept a lot and was still on heavy pain medication for at least 3 weeks. Id say he experienced what you are for at least 3-4 weeks. When we went to Disney in May, he was still tired, so we really paced ourselves based on what he needed. If you need the drugs, keep taking them. Don't worry about being addicted. Jeff had been on 60mg of Dilauded for almost 6 months! Among other things. We were lucky, he got off all the stuff within a month. By the time I left for Florida on April 15, he was just about detoxed from all the pain meds. And like I said he was on stuff of almost an entire year.
Also, keep in mind, you have been through a lot of surgery. Everything is going to hurt. I think Jeff had a drain in his belly as well. Just rest a lot and everything will he fine. You might be expecting too much from yourself. Feel Better really soon! dianne
