Thanks to all for your responses. I served as a marine reservist 60 years ago, now honorably discharged. The VA is not an option. My pain management doctor has assisted as best he can. To extend my time away I’ve reduced using the morphine to one a day extending my time away. It took an uncomfortable two weeks to adjust but I’m able to get by between my prescription refills. I’m sure this motivation proved to be positive. We are just now returning from a two month trip. Had a great time seeing our wonderful country.
