Too bad I can't mainline the Morphine that was flowing so freely for me while doing my 2 day stint at the Trauma Center.
Thankful in retrospect that they reigned in the massive, raging infection before it got to out of hand.
But yes, oral pain meds and I will be best friends for the next couple of weeks for sure. I can already feel the sensation (of pain) beginning to return.
Surgeon & his staff laughed at me after coming out from under the anesthesia..... apparently I quipped "is it time for my beer yet?".
Tsk tsk tsk..... they all replied in unison "no beer".
