Then the morphine. It was awful and then you don't even know what's real and what's not for a good while after that. And for about 30 seconds I was very nauseated anyway. I remember seeing a farm scene on the clock face and it was just a plain old clock hanging on the wall! Very nasty stuff. Later, when I was better, she said it was time for another if I was still hurting and I said "No!" I just wanted to get home and sure didn't want that again. I didn't remember that morphine hurt like that at first from morphine after surgery. Of course, that morphine is in a PCA and you don't get the whole shot at once. Then I got a bad headache later from that shot. Ugh. |
I am so used to it at this point it does not even faze me, I had to train a new team the last time I broke down and took it.
