witchscauldronWent to the hospital last night. The waiting room was awful - too bright, and the automatic door squeaked. People talking loudly...children squealing and shouting...ugh. Not a very nice place. An hour and a half there was enough. I was glad they called me.
Was really rather quick in the emerg. Saw a doctor relatively fast. Of course, the way they play with you to see if you have a migraine is to shine a fucking light in your eyes! >_< Asshole. I wanted to clock him. Nurses were good, tho. Went through all the stuff I've taken or tried for migraines...doctor spits out some name that sounds familiar. I say I think I've tried that, but he says it has a great success rate, and we'll give it a try. Great. Woo.
Stuff gets injected into my hip - OW. Apparently it's an anti-nauseant. I have to lie down for half an hour. It doesn't do much for my stomach, really, but my head - Oh my gods. It felt like someone had stuck my head in a metal band, was twisting it tighter, AND was sticking screws into my temples. So after half an hour the nurse comes back, I tell her this, and she nods.
Have I mentioned I hate doctors? I know they know stuff, but sometimes you'd think they know nothing at all. :\ And this guy was just...meh. So he asks if I'm driving, which I can't, so he nods and hooks me up with some painkillers. I'm going "Ok, this'll last an hour or two - I might get to sleep." Demerol generally doesn't do tons for me.
Apparently I've graduated to a new level of pain control. Lemme tell ya - morphine is NOT for the uninitiated. O_o Yes...they gave me morphine. The shot has my right arm all swollen. I came home, watched a little tv, started to get really stoned, and went to lie down in bed. I remember giggling a lot, being ferociously aroused, and then nothing. That was around 11:45.
I woke up today at 1:32 P.M. Talk about your comas. I don't think I'd want to have to have that type of painkiller in my bloodstream at all continuously, or for a long period of time. Wow. O_o I'm sitting here, uncertain of whether my migraine is gone, totally hazy and groggy. I hope my migraine is gone...I hope. But I don't know....
Meh!
