Tw1tch Posted September 5, 2016 Report Share Posted September 5, 2016 Been hospitalised due to a kidney stone causing renal colic. It's the first day of my holiday... Pain was coming and going in waves, probably maxing at 9/10, along with nausea to the point I was certain I was going to vomit and feeling like I need to pee constantly but not being able to get more than a trickle. I think my next proper pee will be the most satisfying of my life. On the plu, morphine is working pretty well, pain is at 2/10 and everyone who's dealt with me so far has been really nice. Trying to act like a tough guy in hospital jimmies and in so much pain is difficult though. Link to post Share on other sites
shmook Posted September 5, 2016 Report Share Posted September 5, 2016 *badger*s to being tough, mither them for as much pain relief as possible. Link to post Share on other sites
Tw1tch Posted September 5, 2016 Report Share Posted September 5, 2016 Already on as much as they are willing to give. Took two ibuprofen at 01:30 on doctors orders. Taken to A&E, IV paracetamol, 60MG codeine follows by IV morphine almost immediately. Three hours later and I shouldn't be feeling pain due to the amount of morphine they pumped into me and I'm only allowed a small oral dose of morphine. Which did nothing.

Hedganian Posted September 5, 2016 Report Share Posted September 5, 2016 The more pain you're in, the more morphine your body can safely cope with. A dose which would put someone without pain into respiratory failure will barely touch the sides of someone with end stage cancer. (Just as an example) Report your pain constantly - even if they don't immediately do anything they will know that you're not on sufficient pain relief. Hope you get better soon.

Tw1tch Posted September 5, 2016 Report Share Posted September 5, 2016 Plus I'm a big lad so most likely can metabolise more. Problem is the pain comes and goes, sometimes it's 2/10 so more of a discomfort and two minutes later it could be a 9 with me muttering about getting me a scalpel and dealing with it myself. I just hope it is something easily fixable/manageable, as I'm meant to be travelling to the Netherlands tomorrow to see my family over there. Link to post Share on other sites
Hedganian Posted September 5, 2016 Report Share Posted September 5, 2016 Morphine isn't related to body mass. It is processed by receptors in the brain. Those receptors don't "get fat" so don't let anyone tell you different. Many drugs do need to have the dose based on body mass - morphine derivatives aren't among them. As for going overseas tomorrow - forget that idea, you've got no chance. Link to post Share on other sites
shmook Posted September 5, 2016 Report Share Posted September 5, 2016 What hedge said, both about the morphine and the travelling. Sorry bud... Link to post Share on other sites
Tw1tch Posted September 5, 2016 Report Share Posted September 5, 2016 Well the doctors and nurses said yes to travelling. Which seemed a little odd to me but we'll see. Just had my CT scan. Noted on the morphine though. Good job I never extra dosed on codeine based stuff then. Link to post Share on other sites
shmook Posted September 5, 2016 Report Share Posted September 5, 2016 Opiates are funny things. Keep pestering your pain management team. If you stop asking, they assume you're fine, and will bring you a paracetamol every few hours... Link to post Share on other sites
Hedganian Posted September 5, 2016 Report Share Posted September 5, 2016 I suppose it's possible you could be out in time to go, but I'd be very surprised if that was the case. Link to post Share on other sites
amateurstuntman Posted September 5, 2016 Report Share Posted September 5, 2016 I was back at work the day after they lasered mine... It just depends. Link to post Share on other sites
Tw1tch Posted September 5, 2016 Report Share Posted September 5, 2016 It's 3mmm so they're just going to hope it passes. I was given a suppository (hooray) of painkiller and it seems to have done the trick or its passed of its own volition. Will have to wait a few hours to see if it's just the meds Link to post Share on other sites
Bovinedog Posted September 5, 2016 Report Share Posted September 5, 2016 If you're sick while on annual leave, it doesn't have to count as annual leave. You have the right to rebook it! Strange but true. Sent from my ONEPLUS A3003 using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites
amateurstuntman Posted September 5, 2016 Report Share Posted September 5, 2016 Yes but you have to call in sick. Link to post Share on other sites
Bovinedog Posted September 5, 2016 Report Share Posted September 5, 2016 Only if it's in your contract. And the contract probably hasn't been updated to cover sickness during holidays. The paperwork from the hospital would likely be sufficient. However it's probably not worth the hassle unless you don't like you job or your employer Sent from my ONEPLUS A3003 using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites

Lone_Bullet Posted September 6, 2016 Report Share Posted September 6, 2016 It has to be said, if you're simply not good enough. I failed to finish within time and am thus disqualified at the ARDF ( orientation run with receivers) World Championship. :'(. Terrain was fekin hard with incredible steep hills, low sturdy vegetation and even a swamp. I just wasn't good enough... Sent from my C6603 using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites
