Cancer Update: Oh, so this is what a Pain Day is like? OH F'CKING OUCH

By midnight Saturday night - 'Nurse, these meds don't seem to be
helping much any more?'  I've been on a pain pump, with a pain pump
I could push every 5 minutes, but averaged once per hour or less.  All of
a sudden I was up to every half hour of very 15 min, and pain wasn't going
away.

So they updated the dosage, same machine.  They don't like to do that machine,
drug ,to many days in a row, so they took it off at 3pm, as I recall, having
just awakened to the highest pail I'd had since the 10 level in the OR.  They
then gave me, oh, I am soooooooo muddled, d..... something, then
something else, and then a shot of dilantin, maybe?  By 5pm I was able to sleep,
and each time I awoke I as about a 3 - acceptable.   But I was a a 7 - 9
much of the day - totally not fun.

Oh, I started on regular food this morning, and they gave me potassium and
that 'm' electrolyte.  Oh god, total mental shutdown.

They seem to have an adequate plan lined up for tonight -

The original pain pump and pump.

An every 6 hour dose of d.......(?).

Eligible for the shot of  dilantin every 2 hours as needed.

OUCH OUCH OUCH.

All vitals are excellent.

Outside bulb drain has to be emptied, a lot. 

No external drainage - amazing.
