What's My Excuse, This Time?

Um… *blushes* I forgot.

I'm terribly sorry, but after my surgeon poisoned me, I seriously forgot that this blog wasn't on haitus. As nonsensical as that is, and downright sad, it's true.

You know that pain med I was on when I wrote the previous post? It was something I'd specifically told the doctor—repeatedly!—that I'm allergic to. Not only that, but a nurse I know says she was the one he happened to hand the perscription to after he wrote it, and she handed it back to him saying point-blank that I was allergic and he'd have to change it!

The med? Lortab.

The reason I'm allergic? It's a hydrocodone/acetametaphin combo. (Acetametaphin is Tylenol.) Most people who react to Lortab can't have hydrocodone or morphine.

Me? I react to the Tylenol. Of course. *rolls eyes*

Fortunately, it doesn't kill me. Nope, just causes pain, among other details.

That made surgery recovery "fun" for the first day after I'd accidentally taken a dose of the Lortab, lemme tell ya.
