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.

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

Image
 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.

AI Image Generator Is Not So Intelligent

Images created with Deep Dream Generator , and are free to use.   Asked for "a child walking into the sunset with the ghost of his grandfather." Got this instead. Asked for "a grandmother holding a baby in an old kitchen while a cat sits on a window that is streaming sunlight." This one actually worked, "a mother and son on a park bench eating an apple."

A Comment That Just Made Me Wonder About The Person

Image
I normally go out of my way not to make a deal out of comments but I'll do it this time. Please don't go looking for the comment either, leave the person alone please. So when you do a review of a movie, or on a trailer for a movie, you put the year it was released in brackets after the name, so people no it from another movie of the same or similar name. This is standard practice. How someone could be on the internet for over a week and not have noticed this is astonishing to me to say the least. Then again this channel of theirs is less than 2 or 3 months old only, so there is a possibility they are just trying to be funny, or trying to draw out a bad reaction. I don't look down on the person for this in any event, but I just am wondering how the hell you don't know this. They seem to think the (2023) is when I uploaded the video when in reality it was indeed 2024 when I uploaded - No one is trying to fool you dude, it's not a trick. Anyway, here is the comment in...
