Best advice: stay ahead of the pain meds. If they wear off before you take the next dose you will "sorely" regret it. Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

Been there :( And when that pain blocker wears off, it's like a freaking switch - all in!!! Mine wore off during nurse shift switch.

Just warming you all up for BFCM 👻

Long ago my team supported a database product. A customer called in with "Error 35". My guy looked up error codes in our manual: "You should never get error 35." I don't recall how much time it took Engineering to read the code to debug this. But seriously, somebody originally took the time to write the meaningless message into the manual. Different story. My van threw an idiot-light "Check Engine" message on the dash. Well, that's not good, but I bought a maintenance contract, so to the dealer I go. Those bastards charged me $300 to read my OBD port and tell me my battery was low. You know, there is also a "Battery" idiot-light; why wasn't that one displayed instead? I went out and bought a FIXD device so now I can read my own error codes and save $300 the next time.

Are the client-facing teams behind the blue blind?

Reminds me of this cautionary tale. (Hmm, it's not displaying the preview. It's "The Walrus and the Carpenter")
