Question thanks muchly

you are so kind, and to say you would have driven me home, so nice

everyone was amazed at how well i am doing, i look good, and have so much energy - it seems wrong that i felt so good, the nurses and the doc said its unheard of to be off pain meds at 2 days and to feel this good, today i am shaking though and so thirsty, but that heavy feeling last so long and so i tried to drink anyway and i puked foam, what the heck is that, i did that in the hospital but i thought it was from the pills, i had to swallow so many and they were so big and heavy

i dont get it, i am glad i am not in so much pain i wanna die, i am glad to feel good, but i didnt expect to, i prepared myself for the worst and then it didnt happen

as to the morphine - they didnt call what i had before an allergic reaction, just a reaction, and so it was only cautioned in my file, my other allergies were on my wrist band - but you know how they ask you, so what reaction do you have to those - why should that matter - dont give them no matter what - even my doc asked what reaction to penicillin i have when he discovered the phenominia, obviously if i list it as an allergy i cant take it, when i said to the pre-admission/anesthetic person that the morphine causes me to get a heavy feeling and doesnt touch my pain, he said said maybe it wasnt administered properly, i still said i didnt want morphine but they do what they want anyway
oh well, i just want this to have worked thanks so much for being here, it is so great not to be alone

I am always asked several times by several people about allergies or reactions to drugs. It should have been known, well documented, and on a band right on your wrist! I also think personally, that it was negligent to let you drive.

I think the weird hunger feeling is normal. It's probably more your head and the pouch being confused and "new". The fact that you feel full and heavy after a few sips indicates that it is indeed working. You DO absolutely need more liquids than that. At this stage you need to put a drink in front of you and sip all day long. The rules about waiting and such do not apply right now. Also, try and make sure some have protein. Hang in there.....it will keep getting better. Please try and take care of yourself. I hope you feel much better quickly.
