I'm glad your pain is not as bad as before. After ankle surgery (many years ago) I found that the Vicodin made me sick to my stomach so that I couldn't even look at food. I stopped taking them as soon as possible.

I had not realized that avocados help with, what's the word, motility? I don't eat them that often, though. I do like prunes which are tasty little snacks that you know you will never over-indulge in, so they're good for something sweet when you're trying to watch your weight.
