You can bet my dad has asked for more pain meds. He is not very good with dealing with pain. He has to realise that they cut his breastbone in half. They replaced 4 arteries in his heart with a graft from his leg. He was in surgery for over 8 hours and that in itself is hard on anyone having to go through this major surgery.
He has to also realise that it has only been 1 day since surgery. My dad don't like to rely on anyone, he has always been so independant and now he has to. I think it has hit home for him.
