You might actually do well to spend a few days in a drugged-out pain-free haze. Being able to actually sleep without pain does wonders for one's immune system, state of mind, and overall healing ability. Also, it breaks the fucking pain cycle, of which I am a big proponent. Granted, it'd cost you a couple days and short of having a friend in the medical biz smuggle you some injectable Demerol or something, I have no idea how you'd do it, but it's a thought.
Best of both worlds
