Jerry--good to hear the excellent results of your wife's surgery. Your caution paid off! I was rather surprised to see that she was given Percocet for pain post-op. That was the drug that caused a problem with Peter after his surgery. The drugs to avoid list should include all opiates, and Percocet(which contains Oxycodone) is one of those. Thankfully, she did OK with it, which goes to prove how different folks react differently. I would repeat the caution, however; we were warned that_opiates_compete for dopamine receptors with the meds. Peter had a pretty scary reaction to the Per cocet(gen.:Doxicet/oxycodone+Tylenol) and it might affect others that way as well. Ca,milla Flintermann,Cg for Peter 78/7,Oxford,OH
