And then there’s the down-side.
How quickly we forget our basic pharmacology. A common side-effect of morphine is nausea.

A brief weekend review.
Saw Fellowship of the Ring again Saturday (fifth time). It amazes me how a three hour movie can go by so quickly, when I have been known to get terminally restless during certain two hour movies. (I don’t care how good The Prof claims it is, I will never sit through Army of the Dead…
Oscar Night, new shoes, and more.
Last night I did something I’ve never before done in my life – I watched an awards ceremony on television in its entirety. If someone can tell me why, I’d love to find out. I’ll admit, I was curious to see how “Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring” would fare. I didn’t expect…
Welcome back comments!
I’m pleased and surprised that comments are back. I was afraid this was going to take a far longer amount of time than it did. DD admins must have bust a gut getting a fix out there. It’ll be nice to exchange communiqués again. I’ll leave a link to my board up for general discussion…
Why do I persist with these things?
D’uh? I chose my favorite color as grass green, my favorite container was a keg, and I noted that caffeine is necessary, and I get this?: Made by many not-so-well-known companies you really don’t get the praise or popularity you deserve. Fruit, refreshing, and orange. Now if you weren’t caffeine-free I might drink more of…

My Liver New Taking shameless advantage of the song “New York, New York”, Written by Fred Ebb/ John Kander Let me say for the record that making parodies would be much easier if “liver” were a one-syllable word Start spreadin’ the news, you’re going away.

Vacation looms. Was in Milwaukee the end of last week on business; did absolutely nothing that wasn’t on the clock. Good bunch of people, but it was a long way to go to visit the inside of meeting rooms. And now I get to hit the airport and do it all over again, only this…
is it one of those Mondays?
I finally took the time to read your diary from before the transplant and although I’m still catching up I think you are an inspiration to us all.
‘If you cant make a joke of it whats the point of experiencing it’ – I mean how the hell do you manage to have that attitude with everything you went through. Remarkable!
I hope to have time to catch up with some more shortly!
I am like you….
What is CAUSING this problem? Let us find it and find out what we can do to heal it….
Not mask the symptoms! Although relieving the swelling probably WILL help you heal a bit, ya think?
But like I said… I’m with you.
Drugs are the path of least resistance.
However, I think people who think like we do are in the minority. I’ll bet 9 out of 10 people he sees just say, "Make this pain go away so I can get back to work."
And if he recommended some lifestyle change the patient would get hostile!
Wanna bet? Wanna bet?
Grrrr….

Whoa, were those really the doctors names? I think Its Funny…Their first and last names each start with the same letter, and it goes right down the alphabet. A, B, C…
Did I make sense???
You made perfect sense G0thica. I’m afraid I made up the names though. I wish I could have used some of the real names though – a couple of those are actually funnier.
Take the pills and keep trying to get an appointment with regular doctor.
Hate to see a disc problem put you out of commission after all you’ve endured the past year.
Sounds like he just gave you what you needed until you could see your regular doc. He probably didn’t want to jump into the middle of such a complicated case.
*Maybe I was too hasty. Morphine is nice stuff.*
And now you know why I’ve always lived on the edge! LOL

That was kinda like when I had my toenail surgery. That Tylenol with codine was certainly some good stuff.
Ah yes, morphine. You feel good. You are happy. You are completely unaware of your surroundings and that you are naked in the passenger seat going through a drive through.
Mmmm… Morphine.

Well, the upside to morphine causing nausea is that you really don’t care that you are nauseaus…..
I don’t really care for that whole 10 minute Dr. visit business. I think it is poor medicine but that is just my humble opinion.
Glad you’re getting some relief.
I’m sorry you’re in so much pain. That poor body of yours! I did find it interesting that you weren’t keen on going to the D.O. and then he didn’t really act like a D.O. hmmmm….

Sorry you’re not feeling well. Hopefully you’ll feel better soon.
