Default good to hear

That you're doing so well! I have long wanted to get off opiates however found that while needing to be at my father's bedside 24 days in a row nearly 7 hours/day when he needed emergency surgery and afterwards that I am happy if I'm even pain free with opiates compared to what I've lived with in the past re pain.

However I do think that it's far more difficult to move forward mentally than when off opiates so I can surely understand how one would feel much better.

I'd really love to recover my gastrointestinal function again if able to go off opiates! That'd no doubt be a *twofer* ~ the mind and the gut!

Anyway it's very good to hear how well you're doing and that surgery has worked out so well for you. May you stay well!
