My worry is that the doctor will assume that I won't need anything for the pain,

in my experience and reading others, surgeons give cat sized dosages (5 mg hydrocodone) - or nothing at all usually. You won’t even feel that being on 8 mg suboxone.

I’ve gone to a pain management doctor one time a week after spine surgery because I was in such bad pain and boy did he hook me up with the best script I have ever been given (fentanyl patches).

Good luck and let us know how it went

I'm having arthroscopic knee surgery coming up and they told me they are giving me 10 mg hydrocodone, which I think is going to work ok for me in theory ( I don't have any tolerance, except maybe from a small amount of kratom I take a few times a week)). But the truth is, how many will they give me? They always use to start you off on 30 of whatever and you could take two and not have the acetaminophen fuck you up. But they seem stingier about it so I'm afraid they're just going to give like 10 pills and no refills. Last surgery they treated with great suspicion when I wanted my oxy refilled.
If they are at all decent, though, they really should take the OPs situation with the Suboxone into account and boost it
Yeah, let us no how it went. Good luck!

Yes, I feel like I am losing my sh!#. Sorry I should just say poopoo.

I have to find a way to chill. ..... And well stay composed. Some how. It's just that I have way too much going on right now. ( that means a whole of stuff and everything a lot ) But such is life.

So really bad morning. I am by myself doing cleaning and watching a house. Family mem's had said earlier they were taking off to the store and, do I need anything. ( eyeball roll )

Oh yah and they said they saw the ambulance pass them and saw it on it's way back too. Cause I asked them about the lights. Anyway.

I cleaned, worked, made some food. Filled a glass with bleach and water. I clean good.

Ate a whole plate of food thank gawwd. Made me thirsty though and had green chilli's in it. So I grabbed my glass of water that I had forgot to use for cleaning. Gulped it down

because I needed water. ...... Then it tasted funny. No Bad. And I realized I drank my bleach for cleaning.

I panicked like a little poop. And cried like a bishbrain to 911. I didn't even know if the call would go through. They had my location bc it was a land line and called 'the ambulance' they said I could refuse when they got there

and then put me on the line with poison control. I thought the bleach was giving me a heart pain, hyperventilation breathing, and the spins .. and then a headache.

( well kind of a headache )

So the ambulance showed up and the medics said thanx for getting us out of our 9 a.m. meeting. Right now I am going through a lot of family irl stuff so I didn't think

and just reacted ......... But that being said, Ummmm the bleach taste absorbed all around my throat for a while and felt funny. It made the rounds and like burned

or something. Irritated I guess I could call it. I wretched about 4 times and drooled into the glob of tissue about 4 times too. Now it's just a dry spot in my throat yeah

and dry ring in my nose. Because like I said I actually cried tears like a little ......... yeah wait for it again. . a little bishbrain. Icky my tonsils are clean.

I just have a whole lot of stress in my life right now Ya'lls. I do.

And I don't know if I still feel burn from the chilli's or the aghhhh bleach I drank.

Anyway ... I didn't stay composed and I had a panic attack and I hate myself right now.
