Just 'cause everyone else is like "Oh, I totally stopped taking my pain meds after three days" or "Oh I didn't really need them" does NOT mean that it's a good idea for you emulate them.

Woke up at 6am in pain. Took a pill. Going back to bed. Yay vacation!

Seriously. I took them all. But I also saved 2 for the plane ride home because I knew that would be awful. And it was.

If you're driving or flying anywhere I would try to keep that in mind.

If you were like everybody else, you wouldn't be as much fun to be friends with! :)

Pain meds after serious surgery are essential! They are not about being weak or whatever crock of ableist shit other people want you to swallow. If your body is wracked by pain it retards the healing process. Let medical science do one of the few things it's good at and alleviate your pain for a bit to make it easier for you to heal.

That said, you get to choose about your body and what goes into it, and I have confidence in your ability to do that. :) I just...hates to think of the K in pain. *muchhugs*
