Lowering my dose of morphine

Thurs 1/8- A special day! I am so determined to do as much as humanly possible to advance my progress. My next appointment for my pain doctor wasn't until 1/19, and I wanted to return to work on 1/20. I called my pain management doctor early this afternoon and there was a cancellation for a 3:50 appointment! So I jumped on the phone and called Teri Joblon, who has such servant's heart, and asked if she might be available to drive me down to the appointment. THANK YOU TERI! Mission accomplished.. Dr. Kent lowered my dose of morphine to 15 mg. She also mentioned surgery...I REALLY don't like that word! I have been down so long already! Teri also took excellent notes and helped me keep my spirits up when the doctor pointed out that I am nowhere near healed and I won't be allowed to return while on morphine..some silly rule about working with children and being on a narcotic...
