(9,291 posts)My husband gets his pain pump filled every 3 months. A giant needle goes into a port, he had surgery for an internal device. Nurse anesthetist comes to the house.
Then, every 6 months, he has to fly to another state. In this case the original doctors for rx of lighter pain meds. Cause the pain Cather goes to his spine and works on his back. The car that struck him also hit his pelvis and knee. The pain meds go for those areas. Neat, huh?
People don't get it. His quality of life is good, and I'm grateful for the medical technology and caring doctors in other states. Also thank you national pharmacy chain, because that is why he can refill his medication every month in another state. He's been on them over 15 years.
Damn people, breathe. Don't play doctor, life is hard enough.
