done soon and dont expect to be given any
helpful sufficient pain meds so will be using
a bit of alcohol for pain

You’re in Canada, why won’t you be getting pain meds?

Talk to your doctor/surgeon about stronger pain medication.

Not sure what the rules are in Canada but I'm pretty sure you're not supposed to operate on a drunk patient unless it's life threatening.

Alcohol won’t take pain away. You need to tell the people looking after you if your analgesia is not dealing with your pain
