I wasn't on a morphine pump but they were giving me shots of morphine via IV when I was in recovery. Then, because I was feeling okay in my tummy (not nauseated or anything) they said they were going to try and give me whole pills and see if they stayed down... they gave me vicadin and it didn't work too well so they gave me perkaset (oxycodone)... that really helped for the pain... but after 2 days I didn't need any pain meds at all. The oxycodone just made me sleepy... good luck
