Morphine La La Land

I was set upon by agony! With no warning. One minute I am happy and well, the next minute I am in so much pain I am hardly able to remain conscious. My friend rushed me to hospital, and the emergency staff wasted no time putting morphine into me, even though I was saying no to it.

So, 6 hours of drips and morphine and X-Rays, the doctors say the pain is likely from my gallbladder (hey, they say its 50/50 when it comes to abdominal pain).

I started refusing morphine. Hate what it does to me, and knew they would not let me go if I could not manage the pain with stuff I can buy from a pharmacy. They let me go with the promise that I will take their letter to my GP and get an ultrasound to make sure I do not have any gallstones that were not showing up on the X-Rays.

My tummy is still very tender, and I still have the deep ache, but with the medication from the chemist the stabbing pains are kept to a minimum. Guess I will have to go see my doc and find out what's wrong. Hope I don't have to piss a brick! :(

Here is a pic my friend took when I was quite happily sedated on morphine. :P
