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

Is it Friday yet?
I had an asthma attack in my office this morning. It wasn’t as bad as some I’ve had, but when I reached into my briefcase for my inhaler IT WASN’T THERE! I was going to just try to wait it out, but I was online with the Professor at the time, and he ran my…
Smoke gets in their eyes
It’s been a frustrating day. I have finally gotten up the momentum to sell those Hummel figures that I inherited from my mother. Last night I started doing some research on the web, trying to identify what I had and what I should put as the starting asking price for these pieces. It turns out…
Kitten from Hell Recuperates.
KfH has found a fine place to recuperate from her operation – on top of the telephone under my desk light. I just wish someone had called me while she was there. I don’t think the operation has slowed her down much.
Charlie Chaplin’s Cool Request
I just visited Charlie Chaplin’s Diary, and his last entry asks everyone to get out the phone book, find three odd ball names, and post them in his comment section. I did that, and had a blast, and I’m dying to see what other people can come up with. Give it a try, and pass…
The wrong question.
Shay, you’re on the right track, but I think you meant to ask “What do you need to get out of the course?”. I’ll answer both. What I wanted was a refresher on basics, as well as some information regarding proper formatting, how to get myself organized initially, and how to work my way around…
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….
Y.
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.
Alli
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.
