Let me tell a story while I wait for that lost child to figure out if she wants this work. The time I learned morphine & I aren't friends.

Journey back to 1999. A guy was robbing a store on Michigan Ave. I was walking with my ex husband & kid #1 who was 5 months old

As dude runs toward us with his armload of stolen jackets I scream because he's about to run into me & the baby. My ex tries to stop him

Unfortunately he doesn't quite stop him. He knocks the jackets out of his hands, I get the stroller out of the way & they land on my knee

Dude takes off, my ex chases him & I am left on the ground. Some woman tries to push the stroller away & had to be stopped

People try to help me up & I'm like..."This leg is broken. I can feel all the broken. Don't touch me." Ex comes back & in the ambulance I go

They tell me I need surgery. But not right away because the swelling needs to go down. They need to realign my ankle with my leg that day.

I was nursing kid #1 so I ask for a local & the nurse is like "This isn't like putting your shoulder back in place. You need to be out"

I try to insist I can do it with a local. She touches my foot. Shock has been insulating me from the pain. When I feel it?

So you know...there's some Demerol & the open cast is on & now I just have to wait for surgery. And hope the ibuprofen works fast

A few days later I go back for surgery. It's been awful. Because when the swelling goes down I can feel my ankle bones are wrong

We've also discovered that kid #1 will not take a bottle. At all. I have pumped all this milk & he won't touch it. Because kids are jerks

So there's a lot of concern about me going under for surgery & drugs in my milk & so on. Rough day all around. But I need the surgery

They put me under, family copes with baby that won't eat & when I wake up? For a brief shining moment the meds keep me from feeling a thing

Then the spinal block wears off. I can feel everything. And my ankle which is now full of metal is made of burning & tears

So the nurse gives me morphine. It doesn't work. Pain goes nowhere. I feel a little itchy. I also feel very very angry.

She gives me more morphine. I am now super itchy. I am also unbelievably pissed off. Just ready to brawl in recovery.
