Health Update

Went back to GGH yesterday for an ultrasound. First time I ever had an abdominal done, very cool! I saw my spleen!!

Not sure why they wanted it done, but it showed nothing. I waited in ER from 11- 2:30pm to find that out!!

I am on Tylenol 3's. And when they wear off, I can't tell if it's the pain that makes me get all cold, shakey and uncomfortable, or if it's withdrawel from the codeine.

I've cut my dosage back to 1 every four hrs or so, instead of 2. And that seems to be fine.


I have things I wanted to do today. Was supposed to go the Elmira Maple Syrup festival, want to refill my water containers etc.

I need to start icing my back & shoulder again, with the pain, I've been hunching and that's a no-no!!

And yet, I'm crawling back into bed.

NARCOTICS

in particular...codeine are bad for me.

My fever continued to rage despite 48 hrs of anti-biotic use, and I was getting tremors when the codeine wore off... I stopped taking it.

My fever is dropping, I am almost noticing an appetites, I haven't had the tremors since this afternoon.


Note to self...while no one has told me I'm allergic to codeine..>DO NOT take it.
