Ice cream!
I'm not big on the meds, either...You need to have a very frank talk with his Dr's...what is necessary?
As I recall, for Pres' "modified TJ in 2008, he took ozy for 3-4 days...then switched to Tylenol with codeine for another week or so...Discomfort is one thing...pain is another...
Good luck! Keep your chin up!
