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

The first one of you who laughs is dead meat. I colored my hair again last night. I’ve been trying to tweak it towards some red highlights, like it used to have in my younger days. This time I chose a color that (on the box) was pretty close to what I wanted. It was…
Last week The Prof’s car started making some truly formidible noises, so he ran it in to the local service shop. There was a problem with the belts, and because of the way his car is put together it would have been a $1,000 plus job to fix everything correctly. He elected to have the…
Well, the perkiness has worn off. The nausea hit last night and won’t let up. I suspect the diuretic is playing havok with my electrolytes at the moment, which would cause this queasiness I’m currently enduring. I really shouldn’t be complaining about this at all, since others are enduring far worse symptoms than a jumpy…
It looks like we have The Professor’s aunt and uncle coming to stay with us the weekend of Feb. 22nd. They stayed with us for a weekend last year, and while I enjoy their company, I was totally fried by the end of their stay. What to do with four adults and three cats in…
⢠1 jigger bourbon ⢠1 tablespoon mild honey ⢠2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice ⢠1/4 cup boiling-hot water Last night I substituted Splenda for the honey, since that is what I had in the house. It doesnât cure the common cold, but it sure makes you care less about it. The cold has…
I’ve been kicked out of work. My boss talked to HR today about my little health problem. I have to see the company doctor sometime Monday, and the company doctor has to confer with my regular doctor before I’m allowed back to work. They’re afraid I am a “liability” and if anything happens to me…
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.
