Vor is up for a cholecystectomy

[vorlon13]

I have a cousin dropping me off and picking me up.

And the painkiller I'm already on contains hydrocodone.

My first experience with it. I'm befuddled that it is consider an appropriate drug in how it seems to work. At least on me.

It does nothing to the pain, --but-- I find myself not caring.

It is a weird and unsettling effect. Also, and VERY bizarrely, when it's making me not care about my gall bladder pain, it has no effect on my shoulder pain.


My shoulder problem is really striking me as something quite unusual. After the gall bladder chapter is concluded, I'll press my physician to nail down better what's going on with my shoulder. I seem to have symptomology unlike anyone else I know with shoulder trouble.


Also, I've had to stop the aspirin and the motrin I've been gulping by the handful as they affect clotting ability, something the doctors feel is important while they are savagely hacking away at your flesh with razor sharp machetes.


I just realy really really want to get this damn thing out of me. It's time, it's been a pain for decades, and as long as it's in me, I have very little quality of life.
