Just remember right after something like that preventative pain killers work much better than reactive pain killers. That has been my experience when dealing with surgical pain.

Had nurses coming by once a day a debrising a wound. They called when they were headed my way which let me take a pain pill so it had a chance to start taking effect BEFORE they started scraping the wound. It also helped for me to hold something up so I couldn't see what they were doing too. Had 14 inches of colon removed and had a complication caused by a nurse that got fired right after where they had to rip the stitches out an let it heal from the inside out. Was at home with an open wound 10 cm long and 10cm deep. Took a month for it to heal. They had to debris it daily so it would heal back together instead of just scaring over. This was just before they got so excited about people getting hooked on pain killers and the surgeon gave me some kind of oral morphine stuff that was sent out with the nurses doing wound care. That's when I started watching F1, Jerry Springer, and WWE. Those were the only shows that had short commercial breaks so I would not forget what I was watching and change channels.
