That is GREAT news, Garnet.

AFA the pain medication goes, tell your nephew to USE IT - that's what it's there for. I promise you, he will not receive a sufficient dose to become addicted. I'm sure he is hooked to a PCA pump which will administer a pre-determined dose and then will not give anymore for a set period of time (usually 10 minutes).
I've had 3 major surgeries for my illness and I can tell you with absolute certainty that pain management is one of the most important aspects of healing. If he takes regular doses, the pain will not be nearly as bad and he will actually be able to quit taking it sooner.
Anyway, I'm very relieved to hear that he will be OK.
