I was out of the hospital for two full weeks last time, before having to go back in an emergency. I had a blockage in my stomach that prevented food from passing. With Morphine for the pain, and Phenergan for the sickness I was admitted into the damn hospital again. Where they kept me for over a week, before deciding to once again, cut my stomach open to fix things. I was in so much pain that they were forced to give me a medication that was 10 times stronger than Morphine... and I got it three ways... a continuous drip, a button for "as needed relef", and an additonal shot from the nurse, should I need more. This went on for weeks before I was discharged and allowed to go home, with a small bottle of Percoset. Ahhhhh... withdrawls. So much fun. Since painkillers are opiates, the only thing you can relate this type of withdrawl to is one from Heroine. Not a drug I would ever dream of touching, but here I was, knee deep in shakes, twitches, vomiting, fevers- and nothing could stop it....
Thankfully, I made it past that. Now my only problem is a stomach pain that's so bad that I can't stand up straight, I'm weak from the 25 pounds I suddenly lost- I can't even lift the milk jug, I can't eat more than a few crackers a day- no appetite, and I feel sick all day, every day.
Besides that- I'm all good....... Now let's all knock on wood and hope another blockage doesn't happen yet again.
