Pain control is working

Well, Ron's still alive. 

He is really impressed with his pain control.  He said his back doesn't hurt at all when he's still, and only hurts at a "1" on a 1-10 (10 being the worst) when he moves.  Much better than before. 

He lived through the night, too.  He seems happy to be off the vodka. 

There are some problems, the pharmacy only gave him a week's worth.  There were problems getting even that, and I have questions how it will get refilled.  But at least we have found something that works for Ron, we have a name and a dosage. 

Just wanted to update.

That is good news. Time till tell if he goes back on the vodka or not. Hopefully he doesn't.

We'll see. I've been burned too many times to say "He will never drink again". If it's true he was only using vodka for pain control, we should be alright.
