Wednesday, 8:45 A.M. I see my primary care doctor. He says to continue with the Vicodin. But at bedtime if I am in serious discomfort, he prescribes Percocet 10 for me, it's oxycodone; Vicodin is hydrocodone. I want the stuff Rush Limbaugh (ab)uses -- that's Oxicontin. They are very careful about when you can get that one.

My PT/INR is high -- 3.2 -- so I'll need to test that again next Wednesday.
