Oh yes ma'am, I'm a chemical dependency counselor and I work at a methadone clinic. I hope to get off the opioids this week and go back to work on Thursday. I'm going to have to get a backpack to carry my TPN around in, but ever since the doctor replaced the stents I feel a whole lot better. I think regular pain pills will cut my pain and then in about 2 1/2 weeks I'll get the stains out and hopefully I'll be all healed up. Thank you for all their support, well wishes, and prayers, I really appreciate them...
