Your brain feels like it isn't yours anymore in a weird way.

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 pic.twitter.com/EqcHP8wwcr

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 pic.twitter.com/nyqs902nYb

Then the spinal block wears off. I can feel everything. And my ankle which is now full of metal is made of burning & tears pic.twitter.com/GgIVTJFDT5

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

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

By this point my ex is in the room. And he can tell something is wrong. The nurse insists I just need more morphine. And gives me a shot pic.twitter.com/rpGTgkNXQW

My ex demands someone else, anyone else come in. Now. The floor nurse comes in. I'm itchy & completely irrational. We have a problem pic.twitter.com/VV9Z5MHoiM

The floor nurse sees that I have had enough morphine to put a grown man to sleep. I am not asleep. I am offering to hit the first nurse pic.twitter.com/JAdg0kwhYJ

She calls the doctor. Tells him to get his ass up here. Because his patient appears to be having a break with reality & it's his problem now pic.twitter.com/JEoYyVXhVV

He comes in. He's condescending. He's also wearing a yellow & blue tie. I remember that tie because when he leans over my bed it touches me pic.twitter.com/bx7xo9hqVe

He's being a complete shit to me & the nurses. Very sexist, very dismissive. Somewhere in the middle of this my ex backs away. He knows pic.twitter.com/iAkJTDeVTy

I look that man in the eye, grab his tie & snatch him down. I might have choked him a little with it. I was upset. I was itching & in pain pic.twitter.com/b12oTfSlbZ

He's demanding the nurses help him & they don't know him. They don't even see this death grip. Not until he admits there's an issue pic.twitter.com/ZMcLIJXBHu

Fun fact, there is a small portion of the population that lacks the receptors for certain opioids. We get itchy, we get aggressive. pic.twitter.com/slQmTP74IZ

What we don't get is high. Or much pain relief from morphine & several derivatives. Some will put us to sleep. The floor nurse knew that pic.twitter.com/PZLd5skFLF

All she needed him to do was prescribe something I had been given that worked. But he was too busy being an ass to listen. pic.twitter.com/eCvnAMbqFo

I apologized to the nurse I threatened. I didn't apologize to the doctor. He prescribed something else & fled. He never got that close again pic.twitter.com/o77zMPlZ4z

In my chart, there is a bright red sticker that says I should never have morphine. Because my brain chemistry reads it so wrong pic.twitter.com/EHnh1vBEZO
