I woke up in the middle of my surgery, and asked the doctor if everything was going ok. He said, "everything is going fine, almost done". I said, "if you need anything, I'll be right here". I was promptly sedated.Two days later, the drugs I'm on do nothing for the pain. They do, however, induce dizziness and dehydration. Pain meds, anti-biotics, and all manner of herbs is the name of the game in this recovery process, and I'll be damned if I let it get the best of me.
I'm a little delirious as I write this. I was watching elves crawling on the ceiling earlier. What kind of pain medication leaves one stupid, numb, hallucinating, but still in pain? Darvocet, apparently; the doc didn't give me a sufficiently high dose of the stuff, so I'm suffering while in La-La land.
Need.....more.....narcotics.....
