Various combinations of drugs including reasonable amounts of Morphine are ensuring that my daytime TV watching existance is passing in a pleasant haze about equal to three pints of our stronger british beer. Just like dad home from the pub on a sunday tends to sleep happily on the couch, I put my head down for a wee snooze and wake up just for a top up of morphine to calm down the revolution in my throat. The docs are talking about giving me a pump but with my blood counts due to recover soon (this is day +9 and recovery should start day 10 to 12) I am restistant as that would be another thing to wean me off on the path to recovery. Todays new development is the cherokee dance I need to do to start peeing, it really hurts to have ulcers in your bits, other than that temperature is still high so I am on rotating quantities of IV antiboitics to try and catch that and get it stable again, hopefully that will eliminate the shouts and dancing which must scare the neighbours.
Other than being chilled out (I really need a Lava lamp) and the medical stuff no news to report I am officially ga-ga in front of theTV even when the TV is off! Deputy blogger was off at castles and concerts last night so may be able to report more interesting stuff.
Cheers
Gerry

ahh, I remember when I was on a morphine pump .... I remember fading in and out, and the time I was using it the most was about 12 hours after surgery. I was in nuc med, and after that shot me up with radioactivity, I was watching them take pics of my new kidney's filtration. Watching all the little lights on the screen light up where my kidney was filtering. Was I ever stoned! I had whole conversations with the nurse who was my babysitter, and then when I sobered up a couple of days later (re - not taking as much morphine), we had the same conversations I am sure - I had the biggest sense of deja vue!
Enjoy the hazy sleep!
¡Hola Gerry!
Just a few lines to say hola and to send you a big electronic abrazo from Granada. No long since i was in isolation with my siter. I can picture you know conected to the morphin pump. Soon over. It has worked for my siter and sure you will work for you. Keeping my very good memories from the baywindow in Kilgraston and sending you un beso. Hasta pronto. Irma
Hi Alice, Great to hear from you I have an affectionate feeling for Morphine now as the hazy sleeps were islands of comfort for me in the difficult days and really helped me get through them. Seems like you have some similiar memories.
Cheers

Hola Irma!
I have lots of nice memories of you in the house with the kids, almost every day I see the cups you made for us with Irma on the bottom and think of you. You would like the house even more now with its new study bathroom and bedroom it has new havens and quiet spaces and a great family kitchen we are very happy there. Thanks for all the good wishes I hope you are doing well in Spain
Cheers
Gerry
