It has only been an hour since your last painkiller and you've got 3 hours to go b4 next dose and you are begging everyone that comes in the room to please give you something to help the pain . . .
Your NS first words when returning your call are: "treating you would be much easier if you weren't allergic to everything"
or maybe this should be posted under: "you know you have the WRONG NEUROSURGEON when . . ."
You avoid ordering soup in public cos' you know your hands shake so bad it won't reach your mouth . . .
Your whole body breaks out in hives from the anti-nausea meds. prescribed to treat the IV antibiotics that are still making you vomit every hour, 1 week post op!
belly feels queezy, eyes feel jumpy and you cant keep quiet...
You spill a frappucinno (coffee shake) down the front of your blouse and you fail to even NOTICE it. It is only noticed that NIGHT when you take off your shirt. "Oh, that's why I drank that coffee so fast...."
When your head feels like it's full of cotton and you are a walking zombie for half of the day....
...u need another med bcuz of the first one and neither is helping ur pain.....
