As of now still in the ICU. SE-18. Had a rough night. Docs wanted to pull all forms of iv pain control just 1 day postop after having 2 back surgeries in a 3 week timeframe. I have multiple conditions, one of which slows down my ability to digest things. Since they had not really gotten me on any consistent schedule for a decent timeframe, I was not able to feel the relief from oral meds. Around midnight, the first one finally kicked in. So it can take my stomach a good 24hrs to feel any relief from oral meds.
Let's just say last night was a huge battle. I finally came to an agreement with my surgeon to adjust oral meds & have an iv one on hand for breakthrough pain. His concern is if I take too much iv then when oral finally takes effect I will be too sedated to function.
So we'll see how this pans out.
Thanks for all the continued support & prayers ❤❤
