Morphine

Could it be??

A blogpost!!

If you know anything about me at all, you know I spend a lot of time in doctor's offices and hospitals. 

On my mom's birthday in 2014, I woke up in the middle of the night and - as you sometimes do when you have a chronic illness - thought I was dying (Spoiler: I was not). 

So she took me to the hospital. 

I had incredible stomach pain that was radiating to my back, so the doctor decided to give me my first ever dose of morphine.

How morphine made me feel: 

I can't even describe how it felt. The best I can do is to tell you that my stomach got all warm and then went numb and then my eyes squinted a lot and I felt like maybe I was being pranked (???). 

I must have been looking at them with extra squinty eyes, because they looked back at me expectantly.

So there was nothing wrong with me other than the usual and they sent me home. 

This was also the day I found out I was allergic to Percocet.
