Wheeeeeeeeelchair! :P

I got a new mouth ulcer last week and FUCK does it hurt. Today the pain was just unbearable but as I'm neutropenic, the nurses can't give me anything except painkillers. I got a shot of dilaudid and it worked for about twenty minutes, after that it hurt like hell to talk so I just mimed and whispered and wrote on paper. I was high as all hell though (well, this IS dilaudid we're talking about) and I had to go get an X-ray, so the transport guy had to bring me via wheelchair down to the 4th floor to the X-ray ward and let me tell you, getting pushed around on a wheelchair while strung out on dilaudid is a LOT of fun. You know those dreams where it feels like you're flying? It was kind of like that. Good times!

Well, when I came back from my X-ray my mouth was still hurting, so they gave me lidocaine in a little shot glass. I'm going to try to remember to take a picture of the next dosage as it truly does look like a shooter of some delicious type of alcohol. Anyway, THAT finally worked, but boy does it feel weird, as it numbs your entire mouth, tongue included. o_O But whatever. It works. I can take it every 4 hours, so come 10:30, damn straight I'm having another!
