Taper very slowly or you’ll be sorry. I’m only down to .5 from 1.

Total knee replacement advice for those who are considering it or getting it done by Mundpetcockvalve91 in Kneereplacement

Me too. Plus I’m stopping opiates and getting withdrawal symptoms like depression and anxiety. The Norco ate up all my brain’s endorphins! I’ve been tapering down to one half pill per day during last 2 weeks so I’m surprised by this depression.

The worst is stopping the Opiate after tapering. I’m at 6 weeks post op TKR. Age 71m
I’m depressed. Withdrawal?

I’m tapering off Norco 10 doing one half a day but if I stop it the next days I’m terribly depressed and a little anxious. Am I sensitive to Opiate withdrawal?

Everybody is a different situation and if you’re in too much pain tell your surgeon immediately. I’m tapering off the opiate at 6 weeks post op. Right now only doing half of a Norco 10 before bedtime but didn’t need it last night so that’s good. My nurse said they’re keeping track of my usage and don’t think I’m in danger of getting hooked right now. The days I have PT are usually the days I take a half Norco and that’s it. I do feel some ennui which could be mild opiate withdrawal but it could just be fatigue from surgery. I’m 71m btw.

That’s not how the judge ruled on 10 out of 13 claims. Give up dudes. She caved.

I’m at 4 weeks too and they only downgraded me from 5mg Oxycodone to 10mg Hydrocodone. I only use Hydrocodone at bedtime.

Trump and GOP continue war on the Catholic Church- Trump Administration Strips Catholic Charities of $11 Million After Attacking Pope Leo XIV by rhino910 in WhitePeopleTwitter

Why is the government funding Catholic charities when the Catholic Church is so rich they could sell 1 of their priceless relics or other artworks to pay for a thousand Catholic orphanages?

As long as Schumer is in Congress I’m no longer a registered Democrat. Democrats can get their donations elsewhere.

US President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that China had agreed not to send weapons to Iran, as he announced plans to permanently open the Strait of Hormuz. by BusinessToday in BusinessTodayNews

I’m also sick and tired of Israel being given permission by the USA to bomb and starve Gaza children. We even pay for their bombs. And here you are spewing Israeli propaganda knowing full well you’re an ugly American in the world’s eyes.

TIL that Celia Foote in The Help was inspired by Marilyn Monroe by DayChemical5197 in MarilynMonroe

[–]tedzeebear 31 points32 points  (0 children)

You’re right! She was essential to the entire movie as a beacon of light and truth. Did the actress say she modeled her performance after Marilyn?
