I loved the morphine and when I got home I loved the Loritab! They made me sleepy and I never felt pain. My discomfort started when the Loritab stopped:) But it wasnt intolerable. U will be and do fine. As for work I think u will be ok with that too.
I did have a small huge pain moment when the anesthesia wore of and before they gave me the morphine. I think they just wanted to make sure I woke up from surgery ok. It felt like my guts got cut. Oh wait. They did. Lol. Any how then came the morphine so no worries.
