I do remember waiting for every four hours to go by for the next pain killer. I would only take the meds for muscle spasms mostly at night--it helped me get to sleep as well.
It took me a while (a couple months) to start weaning off the four hour meds to longer periods of time and going onto tylenol.
As I had mentioned in a post I made about two months post surgery, the best thing to do is to get a four hour schedule where you only have to wake up once in the middle of the night to take the four hour med. I think it was: 10 p.m., 2 a.m., 6 a.m. 10 a.m. 2 pm 6 pm.
Best wishes and prayers for your recovery. Sorry about the pup crossing the rainbow bridge. One of my dogs is twelve and I know I'll be a complete wreck when he goes.
