January 20, 200719 yr Good morning, I will be traveling to Toronto (TLBC ) for my surgery. They say that you have to have someone to come pick you up after surgery. What happens if you don't. Do they make you stay there longer ?
January 22, 200719 yr ALOT! I went to the drugstore and compared the two. In order to get one adult dose it was almost like half a bottle of childrens. Honestly, after the first night, I did'nt take anything.
January 22, 200719 yr Author Good morning Cloe, Thanks for the info, I bought two bottles. I guess I will just hope for the best.
January 22, 200719 yr i couldnt find liquid anything!!!! we went to 4 different drug stores...... i just bought a pill crusher and threw in the pain med and chewable gravol in there and took it with some sips of water I think this may be the route that I take. Seems easier than drinking half a bottle of childrens Tylenol. Andrew
January 22, 200719 yr Andrew, you say that now...just wait till you taste all that bitter flavour!! UGH!!! I tried it....once... LOL....then decided that I deserved better!
January 23, 200719 yr uugggggg! Yeah! Tylenol is grooooss. (btw, you can buy 'junior strength' chewable tylenol, which is 160mg (children's is only 80mg, and extra strength {adult} is 500mg)... so you only need to take about 3 to equal 1 extra strength. Plus, they taste good!)

January 23, 200719 yr You should really get the surgeon or even your GP to give you liquid codiene. Man that stuff is good. I was stupid and threw mine out after, since then there have been many times I woulda liked to have been in that codiene world again.lol.

I was stupid and threw mine out after, since then there have been many times I woulda liked to have been in that codiene world again.lol. I have a coedine allergy. Did anyone get anything besides liquid coedine. I am a suck, and I hate pain. Maybe some percocet? Andrew
January 23, 200719 yr Author Me too, I think I will ask my Doctor for a liquid pain med befor I go to Toronto. Just in case.
January 23, 200719 yr Andrew, you say that now...just wait till you taste all that bitter flavour!! UGH!!! I tried it....once... LOL....then decided that I deserved better! LOLLLLLLLLL i didnt mention that part..... but the orange flavor gravol masked it..... slightly..... :phanvan
January 23, 200719 yr I had thought about taking a dose of liquid tylenol & then adding a crushed tylenol to it to increase the dose. I also just got back from the Wally Mart, & was looking at childern's meds. They have the Equate Jr. stregth aceteminaphin which was $3.78 for 100ml (160mg/5ml) and the Jr Eqaute Soft Melt tablets for $3.96 (160mg/tablet). When you consider that an adult dose of Extra Strength Tylenol (2 pills) is 1000mg that is 6.25 childrens doses, which will cost about $1.20. I think that I will get some of the soft melt tabs for the trip, that way I dont have to deal with liquids. Does anyone know if we are able to get the Tylenol GoTabs in Canada? Andrew
January 23, 200719 yr Hey Gaffer I don't think that you can get the Tylenols to go in Canada yet. I haven't seen them anyway. Tylenol does have a canadian website that is supposed to list all the pills and things that they offer in Canada. Worth a shot to look.
January 26, 200719 yr Author Well, I got all the ore op stuff done . It was kind of a rush as my surgery is feb 2nd. I asked my Dr. for the liquid codine , and I got it how about that! I am actually surprised !
January 26, 200719 yr I was planning on staying down town at a near by hotel, so I would just grab a cab.Carmen is still feaking out over the whole thing, so who knows what will happen.He believes it is too close to my trip to Egypt and I don't need the surgery. I discussed it with TLBC and they feel it would be ok for me to travel. My surgery is Feb 2 and I leave for Egypt on Feb 26. Hi, I hope you enjoy your trip to Egypt!! I lived there with my Husband and daughter. He was a goverment worker and we took an assignment there. LOVED IT!! Have you ever been there? We lived in Maddi. How long will you be there and where are you staying? I also hope you are feeling great for your trip. Debbie
