I had surgery major surgery on my leg during a long period of active addiction. (After a drunken injury) It didn't result in DTs, so I was lucky there. Unfortunately my tolerance level was peak and the pain after my surgery was nearly unbearable because they couldn't administer safe levels of morphine. I was screwed there, but at least they kept me until I was well enough to go home. (I'm having hip replacement surgery next week and being released the next day. 🤪)
Thanks for sharing!
