I hereby do declare that this Satanic pain is seriously detrimental to said's sanity. The post-op pain is actually WORSE than the pain the tumor itself was giving me prior to the surgery. Yeah sure the swelling is *slightly* less, but taking almost 200mg of hydrocodone is making my so god damn nauseous that I think that I will ask for a different medicine with less nausea. Extra props if they're Extended-Release tablets!
But yeah seriously this pain is terrible and the procedure itself required a lot of the surgeons being careful due to the fact that the tumor was sorta between a nerve ending or something being crushed due to sitting on it. Since this put me into unconsciousness for about an hour during the procedure (I was given fentanyl, Valium, morphine, and cocaine hydrochloride as well as another anesthetic, a general one, I think Profanil or something) for about several hours I did not feel the pain due to the half-milligram of fentanyl which is stronger than actual morphine or heroin but does not last as long as the others. But it still provides good pain relief. I know that in a couple of months when the pain is all gone I'll have a greater knowledge of medicine, drugs, and pathology. It's really interesting seeing all the ways a person can get sick or injured. Many of these ways are hilarious.
