When I saw both surgeons a month later, when asked about pain management, I told them that I hadn't taken any of the narcotics, but had taken some Tylenol, the lung surgeon said "you're a tough guy" and i told him no sir I'm just scared of narcotic drugs.

The doctors most of the time mean well, but abuse in others that I know has caused me to be extra cautious.

If and when I pass from this world, I want to be in my right mind and calling on the Lord Jesus.

I don't judge you one bit.
