I sort of know what you mean. I have to say that my wisdom teeth removal was one of the best times of my life. After an hour or so under some really good drugs, I think I can sort of understand the heroin junkie mentality... If I could be there forever, you'd have a tough time dragging me away.

Turns out my surgeon thought much the same -- him and his wife were arrested a couple months after my surgery. They'd been dosing up at night and neglecting the kids.

Anyway, don't underestimate the power of good old Tylenol. People tend to forget that it is a VERY powerful painkiller. It has no anti-inflamatory properties, though, so it is useless for some types of pain.

There's already tylenol in the Vicoden -- so don't take both! Liver failure from a tylenol OD's a bad way to go.

Hang in there! I'd come make you a smoothie, if I could...
