I miss my ibuprophen

It's Thursday morning.  We are preparing for another trip to LR.  Today we see the Thoracic surgeon about my chest.  My super special parents are watching the dogs becsuse LR and back is an all day thing.

One of the leg-surgery nurses called me on Monday.  She gave me all the typical pre-op instruction, which included to stop taking ibuprophen.  I was taking between 6 and 8 per day and now I take 0.
I did not appreciate how much ibuprophen was helping.  I refuse to take the *codone more than 2 or 3 per day because I hate the way they affect me.  The ibuprophen helped bridge the gap and apperently it was a San Fransico Bay Bridge type gap. 

More to come after the appointment.
