My husband had spinal fusion today, TLIF for L5/S1. He’s had so much pain chronically but now post op nothing is helping his surgical pain. He’s had fentanyl IV, among a few other things, and it’s just not touching it. His BP is through the roof, so that is being managed as well. I (30F) feel absolutely helpless because I can’t do anything to help him. I’m a nurse, and I just feel like I can’t help him. We have a 2 hour drive home tomorrow after discharge and I don’t even know how I’ll get him in the car. I’m trying really hard to be supportive but I don’t know what to do
