Drugs and prone in bed good

My friend Ellen took me to Mercy's new Bunting Center surgery floor for my port replacement surgery 4/25/11. Great facilities and wonderfully helpful nurses/staff. Right port had gotten infected so it was removed and new one put in on the left side. You're given a coded name so Ellen could to see exactly where I was on a color-coded monitor in the waiting room. When she went to grab something to eat on another floor, she was given a beeper. Also had the key to a locker in which she had stored all my clothes, etc. Went home with a prescription for oxocodone. While it was being filled, we grabbed an early light dinner (my first food of the day) and then went back to pick up the pills. My cleaning lady had been home that day so I slipped into clean sheets, fluffy pillows and oxycodone. Ellen easily convinced me not to go to work the next day. Ended up staying home Wednesday too. Felt better except for my right knee pained me. Don't know why because I'd been off of it for 3 days. But without the oxy, I was able to take ibuprofen which helped the knee. Not fair that you get one part fixed and another part deteriorates.
