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

This has been a weekend of tidying up. Christmas has been banished to the basement for another eleven months of solitary confinement. Toilet bowels have been scrubbed. Kitchen accoutrements have been steel-wooled and degreased. Sofas have been curried free of lint, cat hair, and stuff I donât want to consider too closely. I washed windows…
It was an early day for The Salamander. Physical Therapy started an hour earlier (7:00 am), so I had to be out of bed by 5:00, and out the door by 5:30. It’ll be a late day for the Salamander. A couple of shipments failed to come in yesterday, and I need to be around…
I haven’t had anything to eat today. Worked through lunch. I’ve only had two glasses of cheap chardonay, but it’s really gone to my head. I haven’t really drunk anything for I don’t know how long. My liver has no idea what hit it. Feels good. Cats know something’s up. Little Grey Shit was on…
Strawberry: 30/100 Pear: 40/100 Banana: 30/100 Tomato: 10/100 Lemon: 10/100 Take the What Fruit Are You? test by webkin and aaronr! Obviously, they ain’t going by shape. I can’t believe I’m wasting time on this instead of cleaning off my desk.
Not particularly flattering, eh? Ah well, I’ll take “apple” over “banana” any day of the week. Finally heard from The Professor, who made a quick pass through cyberspace last night. He found a way to download one of the digital pictures from his camera onto the net (don’t ask me how; I didn’t think he…
mille : a thousand. millies milies : a thousand times. My thousandth entry, and the best I can do is wonder why one thousand isn’t called “one million” since “mille” is Latin for “a thousand”. I tried to look up the etymology of million on Google to find out why it’s called that, but all…
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.
