Yesterday I had a small operation on my left great toe. I had my deeply ingrown toenail removed. Hopefully, I hope, that it will never come back. If it comes back, all this pain I'm in will have been worth nothing. This isn't the first time they've removed my toenail. This is the worst it's ever hurt. Last week they did the same to my right great toe. It's funny how quickly you forget how much pain there is involved in this.
I'm glad that I'll (hopefully) never have this problem again.
I'm thankful that after a few days, the pain will be gone and I'll never have to again experience this plague of three years.
The nurse wanted to have a good time with the roll of gauze. I didn't have the heart to stop her. She was most definitely enjoying herself.
They gave me Endocet for the pain. Endocet is an Oxycodone. An Opiate. Much like Morphine.
Hurray for Endocet.
Or not.
I only hope that it's enough to make work bearable. I work 12-8 today. I think it's a disposable shift. If she wants to, she might send me home early. Maybe. Maybe not. The problem is, I have too much pain for just a little bit of Endocet, that means, to work, I'll need to take a lot. If I take a lot, I'll be too high to work.
Hmmm..
A quandary.
OUch!
ReplyDeleteKevin took oxycodene for his burnt foot last year. He said "you still feel the pain; you just don't mind anymore."
I hope you don't hurt anymore.
