Feeling better

Yes, feeling better now. Morphine is a good thing. :-) I had an absolutely crazy coughing fit on Friday night - if you could have heard me you would have thought that my lungs were on the way out - but I think it cleared up a few things, I've felt decidedly better since. And I've been sleeping like a log since I got the morphine thing. ;-) I'm doing better with the throat meds too ... well, kind of, I cut down to single doses like two days before I was supposed to. It was just driving me crazy in such huge amounts. Now I'm taking three single doses and mixing them smaller, if that makes sense. Not so much water, so, stronger. For the first few days it just ruined my appetite, I hardly ate for three days. Partly because that shit was making me nauseous ... and partly because I didn't have room for food, my stomach was constantly full of that muck. Ick. Better now. Except that I'm using up all my lemonade mix on this. >:-(

My brain is working better too. It was very slow for the first few days, but now it's getting back to its normal speed. Like this: We went shopping in Sweden last weekend, and I bought a whole selection of various ciders at Systembolaget. I love Swedish cider. Now I have about seven different ones in the fridge. Yum. On Friday night I really wanted some of it ... and it only took me about twenty minutes to realize that alcohol and morphine probably don't mix too well. Yay me. :-)

...that would be a classic effect of morphine, yes. There's a reason you are not allowed to operate heavy machinery. Please don't operate any heavy machinery. The reason I'm treating you like an idiot, is that you probably are, on morphine. Been there, done that. Are you wearing a silly smile?
