Prescribed at Dilaudid®, it is used as a pain reliever. Hydromorphone is 2-8x more potent than morphine but shorter duration and greater sedation. I googled that medication. One would think it take care of the pain.

It turned into a painful 24 hours. The doctor receptionist hand wrote a prescription of Hydrocodone and the doctor didn't date it so they would not fill it. The give you a prescription for an heavy duty antibiotic also and one for pills to relieve the urinary pain specifically. I am waiting on a call from the doctor on call to see if I can take the damned catheter out. It is killing me. after all the rooting around up in there things are pretty sore and I was peeing blood until this afternoon (part of the normal process) Without the pain medication it is like peeing razor blades. My brother said by the third day things had settled down and the swelling an pain had gone away. He noted a major improvement in relief of the symptoms. The Doctor didn't date the prescription!!!!!!!!! How could he forget to date the prescription? I am pretty sure that he knows that without the DATE that prescription is useless. |

It seems like they have done everything possible. I hope they find something soon.

Geezus, sorry to hear that Clipper. I didn't mean to make light of ypur situation. I figured you'd be over the hump in a day or two. In any case I hope you heal up quick & can get out of that place. I will say a prayer for your quick recovery.

They took the catheter out this morning and I had to wait to finish a couple of IV antibiotics and urinate without the catheter. I got discharged at 4o'lock. Got home at 5, took a nice hot long shower, and settling in for home-made chicken noodle soup for supper.
I hadn't been able to take a shower since Friday before I went for the procedure. I had the normal O2 censor, heart monitor, and an IV. I must be in the South. Lunch showed up and was pretty good. It consisted of a chicken breast baked with a spicy BBQ seasoning mix. a large scoop of collard greens, and mashed potatoes with butter. It was pretty good

Glad you are better and well fed. Now get some well deserved sleep tonight. This minor simple procedure certainly got messed up.

I'm so glad you're home. Just praying for a swift and uneventful recovery from this point forward.
