did you ever regret something you said under the influence of medication

[twirl]

I looked at my IHD when I first walked in the den instead of kissing my pets and children...
I had a difficult time and thought that hell would never end....
This could go under ignorant things people say...
picture this...
I am walking down the corridor to get ice and a grape juice
I have two or four of those open ended gowns on and this nurse asked me if I was a patient in the hospital
no, I slit my throat and super glued it back so I would blend in

I think when I was under some wonderful drug I said something inappropriate to my kidney doc

thank you for remembering me------- made me feel good

[okarol]

Good to have you back twirl!

When I was 22 years old and having my wisdom teeth pulled the nurse told me later that I had said to the oral surgeon "Are you married?" 

[monrein]

So, are you gonna tell us what you said or should we imagine the worst??  I hope you did say that to the nurse who asked if you were a patient.  

[Sunny]

Yes,
I told the man in the hospital room next to me to,"Shut the F--k up."
Something I would never otherwise say. My husband had to make kind excuses for me.
Glad to see your doing better.

when i was last hospitalised, i had a mystery gut bleed, pneumonia, a staph infection and had been on intraveneous steroids as well as being given 4 units of blood, i was being wheeled to where i was to get a kidney biopsy and i was not happy. i was basically in a steroid rage and cursing my head off, apparently. a nurse we passed in the hall stopped the attendant who was pushing me on the bed to tell me, 'this is a public hospital and we don't use language like that here!' i yelled at her, 'hey, i'm a f...ing adult and i'm f....ing pissed off and if i want to f....ing swear i'm going to f...ing swear so F... OFF!!'
she rocked back on her heels, shocked into silence and we continued on our way.
i don't regret it, though. i think it was kind of funny. anyway, my grandfather would have been proud of me. he was an old soldier and when his time came he did not go gently into that night.....i guess it runs in the family.

I'm glad you're back twirl! I keep telling people I was shanked by a pirate.

When I woke up once from surgery I apparently listed off to my mom every single person I could remember in my life. Not just family members, but everyone. I kept telling her, "NOOO I really love EVERYONE!!"

[Romona]

 
Glad you are back!

I just thought of something that happened once when I had a liver biopsy.  I don't regret it but it amazed me when the nurse told me about it afterwards. I think it was Versed they gave me and my doc was a youngish Asian guy, very quiet, polite and sweet.  Apparently I spent the whole time asking him questions like where he went to school, where was he from, how many brothers and sisters, what made him choose medicine,  and on and on.  The funny thing was the nurse said she'd never heard the guy talk so much in all the time she knew him and afterwards he commented about how exhausted he was.  I don't really remember doing any of it.

Oh, twirl.  It's good to have you back. Try and take it easy for a couple of days if you can. 

I had to have a D and C years ago, when I was coming to, I asked the OB/GYN if his wife got pissed at him when he was playing with women's privates all day and when he got home he didn't want to play with her.  He teased me about that for years. Thank God, he has finally retired. It was pretty embarrassing.

I got "injured" by a doctor who damaged my transplanted kidney, and it caused me to swell and the stitches in my abdomen from a recent peritoneal window surgery burst open, spilling my intestines.

In the ensuring trip to the ICU, I was told I was spitting and yowlin' like a cat and that I told the doctor his "Mother sucks cocks in hell."

In my defense, I had just seen the Exorcist.

OMFG 
thats all I have to say to Steve-O....  ROFLMFAO

Glad to see ya back Twirl. 

I said something to my nurse last month when I was in the ICU after surgery. I had just woken up and my dad and his girlfriend were in the room. The nurse came in (I don't remember this)...she said, "I'm going to be your nurse tonight". Then I said, "I'm going to be your husband tonight"! I had to of been pretty doped up to say that to a female, maybe I am straight after all.     

[mark m]

The worst that I remember in the hospital after a transplant is talking to people that were not there...Demerol is strong stuff. Oh yeah, there was a wall calendar that was talking to me. I will have to think about this and probably ask around.

[paris]

Well, if that is true, then you better call AlohaBeth and give her first dibs!!

[rose1999]

Twirl is back   Hey you had us worried for a while.  How did it all go?  Sending hugs for a good recovery  and a special bunny  xxx

[Mimi]

Good to have you back.  Hope things will go better from now on.
When I was waking up after I had my son, I continued on and on to ask my husband, "What did I have" and
he would reply "A Boy" then the next question was "Did you  take the garbage out?"  I don't remember much of that either.

Love, Mimi

When I was having my catheter placed in , I told the doctor I loved him. Lol.

[KICKSTART]

In a discussion with my specialist the other week , i was trying to explain how low i felt ..and totally without drugs rambled on about i felt as tho i was swimming in tar , then turned round to her and said ..'Am i talking a load of s***e ? ' so gawd help me if they ever give me something , i better tape my mouth up first !!!

In 1987 I had a motorcycle accident with a friend.  My father took me to the ER and they had to scrub my thighs due to road rash.  I also had factured my right wrist so they had wrapped that.  I kept waking up when they would start scrubbing my thighs with what felt like a wire brush.  They gave me Demerol twice, then Morphine twice.  I still woke up.  I was dreaming I was holding a wine glass in my right hand.  I finally yelled "Can I please put this damn wine glass down?"  I remember doing it and I remember one nurse being super sweet and saying "I'll take it."

They told my Dad that if I ever become addicted to drugs I'd go broke.  Nothing was knocking me out.

While I was having my fistula surgery, I spent the whole time chatting away, advising the resident about which specialty that she should go into, (dermatology), the importance of daily billing and all other helpful hints that I could think of for a physician just starting out in practice.  All the time, asking questions about the procedure as my surgeon was rearranging my arm.

When we spoke about it in my follow up visit later that week, my surgeon said that it was one of the most entertaining surgeries he has ever performed. That was when I realized that I really really, really like Versed and Fentanyl. 

After my surgery, a friend picked me up (since we are not allowed to go home alone) and we went for burgers at Burger Joint (some of the best burgers in NYC)  I was pretty damn entertaining during lunch as well. (or so I have been told)

[migaguiar]

After my first graft became infected and a 2nd one put in i told the surgeon that he better not mess this one up or i would kill him.
When i came for check up a week later he told me what i said turned around and walked away upset. He had his assistant look at me.

  OMG! I haven't laughed so hard in ages!

No one's ever told me if I've said anything during the surgeries I've had, so I don't know if I've said anything or not. That or I just wasn't interesting enough!

[kidney4traci]

Twirl - Glad all is well and you are back.  Let me know if there is anything I can do for you, since I am not too far away.  Also, if you can register with the site, we can have emergency contact info.  You had us worried!!! 

My only story was when I was not under medication but having a baby, naturally.  We were at home, it was a planned home birth.  We have the sweetest midwife, a good Christian woman who is an elder at our church and the mother of one of our friends.  My husband said (I don't remember it...) I was cursing and dropping f bombs.  He said she just ignored me and he just couldn't believe it.  I didn't cuss like that before, not is that normal for me, but the other deliveries I had been in the hospital and drugged.  Pain is pain, and I don't remember that part at all!

When I was having my youngest, my husband decided to put a Gilligan's Island Marathon on TV Land. I was under the influence of numerous pleasant drugs. When I opened my eyes Gilligan, when I closed my eyes Gilligan. The Professor, MaryAnn, they were all there. I couldn't get enough strength to speak. I wanted those @#$% people out of my room and my head. I still can't watch it now.

[kidney4traci]

Romona, that's funny!!
