Dude takes off, my ex chases him & I am left on the ground. Some woman tries to push the stroller away & had to be stoppedpic.twitter.com/Vd5RuxMaoH

They put me under, family copes with baby that won't eat & when I wake up? For a brief shining moment the meds keep me from feeling a thingpic.twitter.com/nyqs902nYb
Then the spinal block wears off. I can feel everything. And my ankle which is now full of metal is made of burning & tearspic.twitter.com/GgIVTJFDT5

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

She gives me more morphine. I am now super itchy. I am also unbelievably pissed off. Just ready to brawl in recovery.pic.twitter.com/PyydefBkoR

By this point my ex is in the room. And he can tell something is wrong. The nurse insists I just need more morphine. And gives me a shotpic.twitter.com/rpGTgkNXQW

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

He comes in. He's condescending. He's also wearing a yellow & blue tie. I remember that tie because when he leans over my bed it touches mepic.twitter.com/bx7xo9hqVe

He's being a complete shit to me & the nurses. Very sexist, very dismissive. Somewhere in the middle of this my ex backs away. He knowspic.twitter.com/iAkJTDeVTy

I look that man in the eye, grab his tie & snatch him down. I might have choked him a little with it. I was upset. I was itching & in painpic.twitter.com/b12oTfSlbZ

He's demanding the nurses help him & they don't know him. They don't even see this death grip. Not until he admits there's an issuepic.twitter.com/ZMcLIJXBHu

Fun fact, there is a small portion of the population that lacks the receptors for certain opioids. We get itchy, we get aggressive.pic.twitter.com/slQmTP74IZ

What we don't get is high. Or much pain relief from morphine & several derivatives. Some will put us to sleep. The floor nurse knew thatpic.twitter.com/PZLd5skFLF

All she needed him to do was prescribe something I had been given that worked. But he was too busy being an ass to listen.pic.twitter.com/eCvnAMbqFo

I apologized to the nurse I threatened. I didn't apologize to the doctor. He prescribed something else & fled. He never got that close againpic.twitter.com/o77zMPlZ4z

In my chart, there is a bright red sticker that says I should never have morphine. Because my brain chemistry reads it so wrongpic.twitter.com/EHnh1vBEZO

I have an unusually high tolerance for pain. In part because even the pain meds that work mostly just put me to sleep. It still hurts
-
But I would rather the pain than what felt like the green light to psychopath. I literally thought hurting people would make me feel better
-
Now, aren't you glad you know not to ever let anyone give me morphine? It turns me into a super villain & no one needs that in their life.

I really can be a very sweet girl. The floor nurse & I got along fine after that. The baby nurse was always a little skittish.pic.twitter.com/ZtozT9ONn4
