Could just be a hoax, though. I fake some headaches, everyone gets used to poor helpless Spike. Then one day, no warning, I snap a spine, bend a head back, drain 'em dry. Brilliant.

Embrace the idea that we are the leaders we've been looking for. Grace Lee Boggs

Morphine didn't seem to touch my pain, but it did make me not care. I've heard similar things about demerol.

That's what demerol did for me. Also made it very difficult for me to make a fist so they could draw blood. I was able to get the fingers gently heading towards each other, but that was about it.

When I was in surgery, whatever they gave me knocked me out like a light switch. There was none of this counting backwards, at least not that I was aware of. The nurse was talking to me and she said, "The anesthesiologist is giving you something to kn". I could feel my eyes closing, like a windowshade to the world, and that was it.

Afterwards, I don't think my pain level ever got below 8 for about a week. I had no idea it was possible to feel that bad.

For money I can follow rules.

I see a potential career path. Does it matter which rules?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I wish I had some fun drugs right now. I'm not in pain, just really really bored. I'm at the doctor's office having my blood sugar tested, which takes an hour after they give you the glucose drink. I just want somebody to come poke me with a needle so I can leave already!

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Sadly, not so much.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I wish I had some fun drugs right now.

Me too! My current ones (for migraines and allergies) SUCK and aren't doing what they are supposed to.

I wish I had some fun drugs right now.

I'm kind of in pain, and I wouldn't say no to fun drugs. I'm going to limp home now and see if I can't get this glass out of my foot.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Several Buffistas were the lucky (?) recipients of my morphine-addled phone calls from the hospital. "I just want to say that MORPHINE...IS...THE...SHIT!!!!"

Teppy the drug fiend is pretty amusing. Though Ple on Red Bull and vodka is even funnier. "Whathefuckever..."

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Yay! We're going out in a bit to have dinner with a friend who's visiting from out of town.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I wouldn't mind drugs right now, after our Big Work Event today. Phew! I hope I can stand up again soon, like I need to...

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

The morphine drip in the hospital helped with pain, but if it was high enough to knock out the pain, it also made me very spacey and dropped my blood pressure so low that I kept nodding off. Then the Vicodin worked a treat-- except for the projectile vomiting. Now, I'm on Ibuprofen and it works well.

Just back from my two-week post-op appointment. I'm doing very well and am cleared to drive short distances--so it's off to the movies with my mom tomorrow!
