Hi Twin,
I am not doing as well as you yet but I'll be there soon. Your recovery sounds fantastic. Having been through this before I would say to take is easy the first few weeks. Walk and rest a little. Have those around you cluck over you a bit. About the meds, i like the pecocet because it is stronger. I was on a lot of meds prior to surgery so it helps the breakthrough pain. I agree with the others to check with your Dr. before changing the meds. WhAt were you taking before? You might need something less potent. Gotta go PT is here.
