So I'm told the surgery I'm having - Left VATS wedge resection - is quite painful.
As I have been on strong painkillers for a number of years, including morphine, at quite high doses, I've been advised that it will be particularly uncomfortable for me as it will be harder for them to use drugs to control my pain.
Because of this rather unpleasant sounding predicament, I've opted to reduce my medication now so that it works better when I have the operation. I have to say that already my pain levels have shot up and I'm finding it harder to cope, but if I end up having a lobe removed from my lung, it could save me some real discomfort in the weeks ahead. At some point I'll go more into the drugs I have been taking to give you a better idea.
If my pain does get really bad, I can take more, just with the caveat that I'll have less relief post surgery.
Love u xxxx
