So I am so interested in your trip and so appreciate your pointers. I am a little uptight about the no morphine drip, especially since Ive been told they may have to do a bowel resection, I cant imagine not having a shot of something if they end up doing that. I had a laparascopic surgery four years ago and only got maybe one or two shots of morphine before going home and I was okay......but again it wasnt a bowel resection. Again I dont expect you to answer me personally, I can only imagine all youve been through. You have a lovely attitude, that is infectious. I hope everything goes well for you.....and you get a real break from all this soon. Your new friend, April
