Hollering for Help

Methadone alone did not help at first. I took last norco at 4am that day. Then started methadone at 9am. At 2 I felt pain a little bit but I was tired not bad pain went to bed. At 4 I woke up and was in horrible pain. The norco was well worn off and the meth did not last for 12 hrs. So I pushed call light to take a norco. Cna came and said will tell nurse. No one came so roomie wheeled out twice to get the nurse. The cna went too. I was hollering for help,crying in pain. Finally she came in wordlessly gave me the pill. Didnt ask me if I had breathing problems or anything.just left. These are not quality nurses.

Then cna came in complaining about the nurse too.

I was almost immediately ok with norco. When night nurse came in I took norco regularly plus methadone.

In morning I took methadone and The nurses gave me routine norco instead of as needed. So they do not always watch me swallow them. So I didnt need them today so i put them someplace so i never have to suffer waiting again.

Now they changed it finally to taking it as needed. Methadone seems to work but I feel high,sleepy,not myself,and my feet are swollen on the bottom.. but no norco or pain.I have traded my mind to be less engulfed in pain.

 

LoL pharmacy ran out of my pills for fungal infection and sent over liquid. It is gross beyond words. Pharm does not know when it will get pills again. I go in for blood wok in oct and it is helping I see results on toe. I cut a lot away and new growth has come in a month. I need this med. So i am throwing it back like a shot with an orange juice chaser. I must. I can.

But ew yuck. A taste horror.

Ok now they tell me that the insurance only covers liquid now. Life is ridiculous sometimes and all you can do is laugh at it. I hope to get this sorted.

I am now legally high. The methadone is more than norco. Nurse I always butt heads with said I was giggly and playful. I am sure it bothered her that she could not irritate me lol. I noticed she she kept bringing up tje liquid med problem and I just shook it off and said bring it with apple sauce. Then I had a chocolate snack. Some people like to stir up and instigate troubles for entertainment. I see her with others.always arguing. Nothing nirturing or helpful.

 

Oh and so my pain started seeping in so I asked cna to call for her and cna did. 30 min later she came in without the pill and asked what did I need. Another 30 min later she brought the pill all apologizing. I smiled at her and she hurried out of room again not watching me take it. But I did this time becuz the pain was going higher,but not unbearable as usual. I was uncomfortable wanted to avoid sleepless agony. But still an hour is too long to wait for a pain pill. She seems to Jab my insulin shots but I never flinch because I use numb side for her.lol.

I told her it was not a problem if I laughed.and talk too much. She said oh ok.

Did she expect me to be embarrassed?

I am sorry for all the crap you are experiencing, if it is no one thing it is certainly another... Bless you and hope things improve.

Thanks for all the encouragement. My family members had stroke but never pain. I never heard of this.

I cannot imagine these drugs are recreational.I have too many side effects.
