This morning at 5AM I could barely swallow 8 oz of water with my thyroid pill.
Vowed, when I got out of bed, I would have me a bit of morphine.
Slept until 8. Hurting, crept to the kitchen where the meds are and got me a dose.
Well, I have never done this before. I am very curious about what will happen.
And, helper crew, it looks like I will need drivers! (Will send separate email,)
It will be fun to see some of you, especially if I am 'feeling no pain'. . .
Slept all morning. Tried to drink water, but it still hurt.
So when morphine came due again I upped the dose to .4ml. (Max is .5ml, starter dose was .25ml) This seems to work. Not ready for solid food (it hurts to clean the particles out of my teeth), but a bottle of ensure went down fine, water not so good (odd, and annoying) but endurable. Now I'm ready for some rice dream.
So the afternoon is going a bit better.
Perhaps the mouth sores are as bad as my butt will be in a week, but by then the mouth sores should be about as bad as my butt is now. OK, with God and the tool he has provided, morphine, I will get through this! Praise his glorious Name.
