The first time they put me in it, they set it at 30 degrees... 5 hours after my surgery... I have a pretty high tolerance for pain, but I won't lie... I cried. The dilaudid and percocet combination did little... I was in it for 8 hours, 6 of which were amazingly painful. The last two I was whacked out on the drugs that FINALLY started working.
