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

A quick study break – I take the certification on Tuesday, and while I’m fairly sure I’ll pass, I’d really like to pass with very high scores, which keeps the pressure on. Spring has finally *really* arrived though, and it’s hard to keep my eyes on the finish line when the sunshine beckons. At least…
Oh it snowed last night … snowed last night The snowbears had a pillow fight They tore up every cloud in sight And down it came all snowy white Oh it snowed last night … snowed last night …. -song I remember singing in elementary school Well, it didn’t exactly snow last night. It was…
Twelve hours later, and I’m still trying to shake off last night’s sleeping pill. It’s worth it though – I got my first full night’s sleep in what seems like a week last night. The morning is definitely running in slow motion right now though. Tonight is the much anticipated Dar Williams concert. Front and…
I came up as this whimp? Take the Which Star Wars Hero are You? Quiz! …created by Kenzie. I’d rather be my number two match, please: Take the Which Star Wars Hero are You? Quiz! …created by Kenzie. Practice talking in inversion I believe I will now do.

There once was a kitten with wings Who did many kitten-like things. She tangled with kites, And took long lazy flights After anything airborne that sings. ~Lawrence J. Levine, from “Kitten With Wings” AQuietEvening’s entry put the yen in my zen to go out and get myself a kite. This is not a brand new…
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.
