My morphine delivery has arrived.
It's been a rough few days and nights without it, ngl. 😕

Dang, that can be tough when you need it. I remember having surgery for my leg and then needing oxycodone and acetaminophen every few hours. I just dealt with the pain that still persisted even with that dosage. It was tough but I was up for it, because I had to, on account of wanting to keep myself from being dependent on it, and the fact that they said it could damage my liver or something if I took too much. I can hardly imagine what it would have been like to go without it for a few days and nights. Definitely made me feel able to handle more pain though, for those hours before the surgery when I didn't have anything, and when the drugs would wear off in between taking them.
Take care!
Thanks, fren. 🫂
I was on oxycodone from 2018 until 2021, which was great for the pain. I'm also taking acetaminophen every four hours, which you are right, is not good for the liver.
I had to come off oxycodone since becoming a dad, as I was just too groggy half the time to function properly.
I've been a regular codeine user since, but as you well know it's a goid idea to only use as much as required.
I ended up aggravating my already damaged spine, so I have needed morphine on top, especially to sleep. Good sleep underpins everything, and chronic pain is exhausting.
I'm pretty sure the morphine addition is temporary, and I'll get back on track soon.
I have good days and bad days, I just need to focus on the goid days, and vent about the bad days, because I tend not to afk.
