Another night with 11 hours without pain medication

I am sure no one is reading this.

Last night represents another night of over 11 hours without pain medication.
Sleep was marginal, but I didn't  wake up enough to think I was
in pain and needed medication for either the pain or high blood pressure.

End Result:

By the time I take pain medication in the morning, it doesn't work.
I took Oxycodone at 8:30 a.m. and 11:30a.m. and I am in serious pain.

Now I am wondering if I should set an alarm to wake me in the
middle of the night so I don't wake up in so much pain.

My surgery was Dec. 20 a LONG time ago.

I do have a family practice doctor I could go discuss this with,
however as I pointed out above-- going anywhere is painful
and I am already in pain.

I have slept all night for the first time since surgery Dec. 20

I have slept all night two of the last three nights.  Last night I slept eight hours
 and two nights ago I slept 11 hours.

Prior to that I have been getting up at least once to eat something and take
pain medication, and put a heating pad on my knee and or use the water
circulation machine they gave me in the hospital.

Sadly the days were miserable.  I woke up feeling relief that I was better
only to be in lots of pain all day, despite taking pain stuff.

I am still taking Ibupropin, Tylenol and Oxycodone.
