If you read my last comment to my previous post, you already know I've gone back on the pain meds. I didn't think I really had any choice. Yeah, I could tolerate the pain (with some effort), but my heart rate was from 5 to 10 beats higher, than it had been, and it was more difficult breathing. Two things I thought not wise to continue. I have, however, changed my dosing to one 5 mg Oxycodon every three hours, instead of every 4 hours plus one 325 mg Tylenol. And yes, I know that is an increase over my previous regimen, and considering my previous post, something I have no logical explanation for, except that it serves to point out just how trying and screwed up this whole ordeal has been for me. It's just a good thing I have an appointment with the Cardiologist this afternoon to discuss my progress, and my meds which I am quickly running out of.
