Morphine is good!!

Ok - So I've been a little bit quiet - so sue me!

Thursday night I had the worst ever attack of gallstone pain - I was literally screaming in pain, and crying my eyes out. The trip to the out of hours doctor was a quick one - Dad faced having points on his licence just so that he didn't have to sit next to me screaming my head off.....
The doctor administered an anti inflammatory drug straight into my leg, which I was told would take half and hour to work - 20 minutes later, and I was still crying out in pain, and the doctor decided on a different course of action.
I was quickly admitted to a ward, and put on a drip which administered paracetamol intravenously - all good, but it wasn't helping with the pain. Next they gave me some paracetamol and tramadol tablets - they didn't work either......so the next step was morphine directly into my bum! within minutes, the pain was subsiding.....BLISS!!!! Although there are side effects of having morphine, the benefits it provided outweighed anything bad that was happening.

So, five days in hospital - a few blood tests, a bit more morphine, and they let me out.....
I now have to wait again to get a date for my operation to remove my gall bladder, but hopefully my recent stay at the Crowne Plaza GRH will bump me up the queue a little bit.....

Anyway - Wedding fair now has 15 exhibitors, and is still growing...!! Whoo hoooooo!
