Does someone want anit sickness drugs to counteract Morphine.
I have Morphine on a regular basis.
When at home I have it in tablet form, but when in hospital I have as an injection when the Morphine goes in.
It is called Cyclicine
Hope this helps

It is possible to be given another drug to counteract the sicknees brought on by morphine. I cant remember its name, but I have to take it if morphine is the only pain relief that does me any good.

Sorry muddling aunt for SiL I was thinking your daughter's aunt. I don't know who wrote the poem I think I saw it in a magazine and copied it for our daughter in law.

sue just been reading back hadnt seen this thread before, im so sorry you have had a really tough time, when the time is right i hope your daughter goes on to have a better time, and have her baby and your grandchild, things always seem to happen at once take care of yourself xxxxx

what a lovely poem Ann - says it all

I lost three babies before getting my one and only precious son and there was no aftercare or counselling back then - just get on with it

Sue, you have had an horrendous time haven't you - my Mum always used to say "God doesn't send you more than you can handle" but I don't really go along with that

what a lovely poem ann,
my daughter say's she is focusing on the fact that they found the problem's at 4month's rather than a lot later when she was near her time of delivery.

it is my s i l who has had the stroke, i do not know how my b i l will cope as he has got a type of motor neurone .

Sue, I am so sorry. Your poor Aunt has had a lot thrown at her hasn't she.

I do feel for your daughter and can empathise with her too as our daughter in law had virtually the same problem in 2000, He would have been her second son and it was devastating for all of us. I will say though, if it helps at all, that they went on to have a perfectly healthy daughter in 2002. I hope your daughter will find the strength to cope with her sadness and your son in law and you too.

Maybe a little later the following verse may give her comfort.

Don’t let them say I wasn’t born
That something stopped my heart
I felt each tender squeeze you gave,
I loved you from the start.
Although my body you can’t hold
It doesn’t mean I’m gone,
The world was worthy not of me,
God chose that I move on.

i cannot believe this!!!
i am recovering very well but all is not well,
my sil who was diagnosed with 4 types of cancer has now had a stroke,she is completely paralised down her right side ,she has lost her speech,she look's a poor sight,she is only 54, so tragic,
next i was to be grandma for the first time in september,my daughter went for her scan and was told the baby had not formed properley,she had to go into hospital to have the baby taken away, what can you say to her it was her 1st pregnancy,
i thought 2012 would be better but at the moment it seem's not.

sue

sorry to hear you had a rough time Sue, doesn't sound a nice experience. I hope you will start to feel better soon. I know a lot of people who cannot tolerate morphine, when I had my op I refused it, theyw ere very surprised but could see I meant it and I just had paracetamol and was fine.

just a quick note today as i feel very sore,
all did not go according to plan the kidney had stuck to my body instead of floating,i have a scar right round my rib cage ,i went to theatre at 8am and came out at 6pm ,i was then in intensive care for 2 day's seriously ill,they had major problem's detaching the main artery in the kidney and i lost a lot of blood.
i only started to feel a little better when i asked them to stop giving me morphine as i work out i kept being sick afterward's.
got to go now as i feel uncomfortable but will log on again tomorrow.

sue

Best of luck, I hope you are settled in now and all goes to plan

Lizx

Good luck Sue.

all must have been ok as i have not had any phone call's.
got to ring at 5,30am to check that there is still a bed,then in at 6.30 for the morning list.

sue

Hope all the preadmission checks went ok and your op will go ahead tomorrow, Sue, will be thinking about you.

Lizx

You will be glad to get it all over with Sue. :-)

well i got 2 phone call's this morning, the first from consultant's secretary giving me a day for addmission the 28th feb,i will be on the morning list,i have to be there for 6.30.
then i got a call from pre addmission's ,i have to go for a ecg at 9am tomorrow,then to the clinic at 9.30.
thing's are starting to move now,soon i will be pain free apart from surgery pain,

sue

although i knew there was a chance i could loose the kidney,after getting home the reality of it all it me, as i am such a positive person i thought i would go to see him and he would say ,ok we will zap the stone and all will be ok.

Hope the op goes well and happens very soon, so you can have it over and done with Sue, better out than in if the kidney is useless to you. A neighbour of mine lost a kidney soon after her daughter was born in 1948 and managed well with only one for the rest of her life, she was in her 80s when she died and not from anything related to her kidneys, bless her.

Lizx

Good luck with the op I hope it is a total success and you can put all this behind you.
