akfishergirl:the vicoden will become your best friend!!
It truly is, Dear Teresa. With that said, though, I went from 11 last night until 8:30 this morning for my dose of Norcol (???) It's Vicodin with a kick, I think. 
Found out I have 14 staples on the new hip. Haven't seen it yet...no big rush for that truth to tell.
Hey, ICU! Had my left hip swapped out for a new, improved model. I'm hoping I'll get a goodly amount of time on the new parts!
