Let me tell a story while I wait for that lost child to figure out if she wants this work. The time I learned morphine & I aren't friends.

People try to help me up & I'm like..."This leg is broken. I can feel all the broken. Don't touch me." Ex comes back & in the ambulance I gopic.twitter.com/gP80xfYB9e

They tell me I need surgery. But not right away because the swelling needs to go down. They need to realign my ankle with my leg that day.pic.twitter.com/nWNj6LpWes

I was nursing kid #1 so I ask for a local & the nurse is like "This isn't like putting your shoulder back in place. You need to be out"pic.twitter.com/0cp4QXBLFe

I try to insist I can do it with a local. She touches my foot. Shock has been insulating me from the pain. When I feel it?pic.twitter.com/sg4BW57e2O

So you know...there's some Demerol & the open cast is on & now I just have to wait for surgery. And hope the ibuprofen works fastpic.twitter.com/OXPtyVCJYP

A few days later I go back for surgery. It's been awful. Because when the swelling goes down I can feel my ankle bones are wrongpic.twitter.com/E1rPmbieAy

We've also discovered that kid #1 will not take a bottle. At all. I have pumped all this milk & he won't touch it. Because kids are jerks

So the nurse gives me morphine. It doesn't work. Pain goes nowhere. I feel a little itchy. I also feel very very angry.pic.twitter.com/ZeLqyTdfUM

My ex demands someone else, anyone else come in. Now. The floor nurse comes in. I'm itchy & completely irrational. We have a problempic.twitter.com/VV9Z5MHoiM

The floor nurse sees that I have had enough morphine to put a grown man to sleep. I am not asleep. I am offering to hit the first nursepic.twitter.com/JAdg0kwhYJ

She calls the doctor. Tells him to get his ass up here. Because his patient appears to be having a break with reality & it's his problem nowpic.twitter.com/JEoYyVXhVV
