A TRIP TO THE ER AND PAIN MEDS THAT DON'T WORK

Was at the ER the other day and they poked 3 holes in me in total. 2 for bloodwork (they never get it from my arm and need to use the hand). The other hole was for an IV line to put contrast dye in me for a CT scan.
I called 911 about 3:45 PM as I was in massive pain. Was a level 9. I was almost out of my mind with the pain. It came on sudden and was in a location below where the hernia repair with mesh was done.

Now I know there can be complications with the mesh like having severe pain and cramping for months after - and in some cases for the rest of your life. However, this was sudden and weeks after the operation. By the time I was into the CT scan it was a lot less painful.

They told me the mesh and stuff where all OK on the scan but there was a large pocket of fluid inside me. I have to wonder why it did not hurt this bad before if this is the case. It still is a bit painful in the aria but not even close to what it was.

The strange thing is direct pressure does not effect it, instead if you press over top of my belly button it hurts more in that lower location - also no pain on the rebound (when they suddenly let go). So it's interesting.

I've been having cramping feelings and sharp spikes of pain since the operations. I see the doctor on Monday (if they don't move my appointment again) and will see what is going on from him.

Also I wish to talk to him about the fact that I'm rather sure Opiodes don't seem to work on me at all. I know after the operation when I was left alone to dress and get ready to go home I was in pain like I have never been in before. I was supposed to have been given a shot some time before that (I don't recall getting it), but there was no relief from pain at all.

The meds I was given to pick up at the drugstore did exactly nothing as well. When I took 2 of them pills instead of 1 the pain actually got worse.

So if these things don't work for me at all, what the hell can they do for me in the future if I am in a great deal of pain? Is there something other than Opiodes that can be used? I literally have no idea. All I know is I never want to experience what I went through in the hospital and the 3 days following ever again.

As for the cramping and pain spikes, I read that this can happen with the mesh repair and sometimes will go away withing 6 months but on rare occasions it lasts the rest of your life. I sure as hell don't need extra pain on top of the Fibro pain that I always have.

In any event, I will see what he has to say on Monday.

HOW TO FIX BLOGGER FROM DOUBLE SPACING LINES OF TEXT

Image
When you click on the editor to type text, it changes to "Paragraph" instead of "Normal". This causes there to be a double space between lines. If your trying to do a list, this is a serious piss off. So you have to click where it now says "Paragraph" and set it back to "Normal". I've had it a couple times not stay, and had to select all then set it to Normal again. As well it puts in a leading space (indentation of 1 space) you may want to delete as well, or your list won't look quite right at the top. It used to stay where you put it, but now it just up and changes it to Paragraph for literally no reason - even if you first set it to Normal - you click and POOF it changes.

Matilde Vicenzi Cookies Are Great

Image
Was sent these by a good friend for a birthday gift. They are really very good. Quite possibly the best cookies I've had in years. I tried them all, and I like the white one you see in the bottom picture, as it had a lemon taste to it. Some had a bit of liquid chocolate in them and where very good as well. Like normal, the ones with the bit of jam in them where a bit too sticky and chewie. But I seriously enjoyed all of them. These are great. I'm going to look them up on Amazon and if they are not too much money, I'm getting more for Christmas. OK just looked it up and NOPE, it's $28 a can. They are very good, but that is a bit out of my price range. But the usual Christmas Danish Butter Cookies are also kind of a lot of money now as well. They are also a bit moist, and not super dry like usual. Also not powdery like a lot of them do. I'd give these an 8/10 and would recommend highly.

YEAH THAT'S NOT A SCAM, I'LL EMAIL YOU RIGHT AWAY LOL

 The anatomy of a scam. This is the exact format I've seen several times on other people's videos on YouTube (in the comments). See if you went to my channel the latest video would be at the top of the list and this was on an older one. There is literally an email link in my profile on YouTube and it was not used (even if it was I'd not fall for this crap). They use the words "your family" to make you react emotionally. You have thoughts like "Is someone hurt or in trouble"? This is almost always a way to try and get "money to your family member in need". Or it's a way to get information out of you. Sometimes it's a long lost relative you never freaking heard of leaving you money. There will always be a fee you need to pay for the legal matters to be cleared up and you to get the money. SCAM. It's interesting I've seen so many people reaching out on YouTube to people about "their family" this few months.

10 Questions Answered

1. How many times have you seen the time as exactly 8:18 am/pm in your life? Almost never. If I did I did not take note of it. 11:11 I always remember as well as 3:33. The middle of the night where all the horror movies have things happen is said to be 3:15am - you have no idea how many times I’ve woken up at 3:15am and looked at my phone. 2. What have you lived long enough to see? The list is rather long, but I’ll try to keep it short. Computers went from filling a room bigger than my apartment, to fitting in our pockets. When I worked in data entry, the entire building was using a 1GB drive that was the size of a stove. Now my 512GB micro SD card is smaller than a fingernail. Medical treatments like Stem Cells are not giving life back to people who would have died when I was younger. Medication I’m on did not exist 15 years ago, and it’s keeping me alive. All manner of medical wonders. Personal space travel. This was fiction when I was young, and now it’s happening. Then there is uns
