Good Morning Really Early Birds

[Dizmo]

This isn't to replace the GMEB thread, as we all know is hosted every morning by WBM; or Janbee (and others but she usually picks up the slack) when he overlays after a night out on the tiles!

So how are we all, but equally as important, how's t'weather where thy is?

I have an urge to say "moo" so here's a moo from me to you. Enjoy! xx

[lardhelmet]

Good grief Dizmo! Why aren't you asleep? Are you in a lot of pain?

[cupid04]

Have you had a visit from Santa yet?

[1ozzy]

Hey Diz, think this maybe the "official thread" this morning.
Hot and humid here.
Moo to you too.
Hope you are getting better.

[lardhelmet]

Hopefully hs's dropped off and is getting some rest.

[1ozzy]

When you say dropped off, hopefully not his perch :-).
Bit of sleep probably wont go astray.
Hope things improve for Diz.

[cupid04]

I hope you're getting better too dizmo. Hope you're next to any noisy sleepers.

[cupid04]

Meant to say hope you're NOT next to any noisy sleepers.

[Dizmo]

I haven't dropped off. I asked for more pain relief as I can't sleep due to my pancreas wanting to exit my body (feels like that anyway).

[Elina]

Hi & bye Dizmo! .... lardy, cupid, 1ozzy ;0)

[Dizmo]

Cupid: I'm in a side room as I tested positive on the MRSA swabs

[Dizmo]

The only downside is that I'm not allowed out of the room.

[1ozzy]

Gee Diz, I don't know what to say, other than I wish you all the best and get well soon.

[1ozzy]

Hi and bye Elina.
Take care.

[Dizmo]

I managed to work out the morphine debate. It wasn't mg or mcg that I was referring to when I said 100.

Apparently the Oxycodone I'm on now (50mg (25mg in the morning and 25mg at night)) is twice as potent as subcutaneous morphine so 50 becomes 100. I was actually taking 0.4-0.5mg (or 4-5 CC's) or morphine daily which equates to roughly 50mg of Oxycodone.

The only problem is that on top of the Oxycodone I've had to have morphine PRN (Latin: pro re nata) - or Prescribe When Needed, 3 times (another 3 CC's). So I've got to see if the lovely Louise from the pain team will be willing to up my dose of oxycodone from 50mg daily to 80mg daily.

Just thought I'd keep you all informed about my pain as I know you all care and keep asking about me, and the fact I am getting relief from it, just not 100% in the correct way, but we're getting there :)

[Dizmo]

Night night (or just bye if you're not going to sleep) Elina :)

[lardhelmet]

Bye elina

Does one need a pharmacy degree to join this thread, Dizmo?

[1ozzy]

If so Chris, I'd better leave now.

[Buenchico]

Becoming a pharmacist is easy, 1ozzy. You just need to know that the white ones are aspirin and the coloured ones aren't ;-)

[Dizmo]

hehe Chris. Of course not!
