: :Hi Linda,

: My 86 year old aunt just had a full
: knee replacement and only took the
: medicine a few times, just to help
: her sleep. No problems.

: A friend of mine with addiction in
: her family had the surgery and was
: concerned about getting addicted
: to the morphine. She took it just
: for pain, and when the pain was
: gone she stopped taking it. From
: what I hear, if the medicine is
: used properly, for pain rather
: than for mood alteration, it works
: as it's supposed to.

: Both were so happy to have had the
: surgery.

: JoEllen

Thank you for this JoEllen, this is very good to hear. I've been imagining all sorts and reading this makes me think it might not be so bad after all. Good to hear that your aunt and friend are happy with the results.Thank you so much for replying, very much appreciated.
