I’m not burning off of all eight cylinders today and my sleep cycle is all out of whack. I spent a long miserable night scratching my itches I’ve been feeling since the evening of the surgery. I took soo much Benadryl last night I thought it would knock me out enough to keep me from scratching the inside of my longs. The effect of the pump is instantaneous but I still have to take all my oral meds in the interim. Before the surgery began the doctor told me they were going to fill the pump with morphine bit I requested he either upgrade it to something else or to use children’s baby aspirin. He then rewrote the script for dilaudid instead after I explained the many time I’d been prescribed but with little to no positive effect. Today my head feels as if it has been in a fish bowl so when I go in to the clinic next week for my follow-up, I will need to get him to throttle back the dosage.
