Morphine Wins!

So I gots me a fancy dancy concussion. After two and half weeks of constant headaches that just seemed to get worse and worse and a trip to the family doctor which gave me no information whatsoever...I made my way over to ye olde hospital and got me a CT Scan. Terrifying I must say but totally worth it. I am not bleeding from the head or brain, I do not have a tumour, I do not have Arnold Chiari Malformation like my mama. Just a concussion. A horribly painful and debilitating concussion. So what do they give me? 2400 mg of ibuprofen a day and a morphine for bed. Sweet! I HATE narcotics and have never tried anything more than codeine which knocks me flat on my ass. I'm scared to take it. I'm safe at home and going to straight to bed but what if I don't wake up? I have an extremely low tolerance for narcotics and they fuck me right up. In a way I'm excited but also very nervous. What if I like it? What if I like the feeling I get from these fancy pain killers and take more than my recommended dose? What if I become addicted like some other people I know... Maybe I'm just over thinking it. Who knows. Yay for happy times!
