Re: [RC] [RC] for men too! - Maggie Mieske

I am pretty sure I will go the "no/very little" pain meds route.  When I had
my 3 C-sections, I was out of the hospital before other women who also had
C's because I got up and WALKED as soon as they let me.  I went home a day
earlier.  And I don't remember getting morphine back then...last year,
daughter Carrie had a morphine drip!!!  I couldn't believe it!  And she was
VERY dependent on it.  I think all I got was Tylenol with codeine or maybe
Motrin.  I hate taking pain meds unless absolutely necessary...I do believe
they delay recovery.  However, if pain is bad, you  have to keep on top of
it.  Hopefully, it won't be any worse than having surgery and bringing home
a baby...I know I am older but endurance has made me even tougher and I am
probably fitter than I was then even though I am short and fat (it's all
muscle under that flab, I am sure of it!).  :)
