My lethargy is more hangover related so I'm currently trying to avoid the light.
Hopefully you will be up and around soon....
I think mine is a lingering effect of a recent op. I would share my oxys with you if I could. They can be used on a multiple of aches and pains. As that's not an option I hope you have berocca and Panadol handy .... Or more wine
Was given some oxycodone when I got my wisdom teeth removed and let me tell you they did not agree with me! I will make do with my trusty Panadol. Also hope your op was all good and not for anything to nasty.

What did you have done?
(I am so hoping it is a full sex change)
I am sure you are aware, oxy's can play havoc with your poo poo. Keep your fluids up and increase your fibre. Couple of glasses of pear juice each day will have you pooing perfectly.
We should take some bets for what it is.
I know it is a long shot, but I am putting a tenner on full sex change. Man to woman.
Enjoy your hangover, thankfully a new day has rid me of yesterdays after effects of drinking. I bounced out of bed and have had a super productive morning. I have even ironed my uniforms ready for tomorrow.
I swear though, I am not drinking again for at least 4 months.

Well I actually am a female. It's not as exciting as it sounds tho because I always have been. I know a few on the forum have referred to me as he and I just never corrected it just cause I wasn't offended and I figured it wasn't important. So in some way, in many of your minds at least, I have now had a sex change lol.
Re the poo ..... No I wasn't aware but I was made pretty seriously well aware of it when I finally went 4 days after the op! Coming from the general anaesthetic, a couple doses of pethadine, an oxy every morning and evening and two endones every 4-5 hours it felt like I as passing the rock of Gibraltar! It was 1.5 weeks ago now but I still have nightmares!!!
DAMN!
Okay I will take another stab...
You had your labia tidied!
That is poor nursing care and education when it comes to safe practice and the distribution of medication. I have only been a nurse for 5 minutes and somehow I am doing some education regarding medication, and I might bring up your scenario including your description of the "rock of Gibraltar" for the visual (I will leave out the trimming of your labia though, some things are better left unsaid...). Patients don't automatically know the side effects of meds and it up to the nurse to educate them.

Nope thats not it either lol. A little labia tidy up never hurts tho. The docs should offer these added options - would you like fries or a labia tidy up with that?
Hint .... The doc thought it would be a 45min op to remove something, but once in she had to spend 2.5hours plus removing a lot of other stuff we didn't know would be there .... No babies involved
You know I thought the nurses were BRILLIANT in so many ways and quite literally the only fault I found is with the lack of patient poo preparation ha ha. I would have cut back on the drugs had a known what was coming. I don't mind admitting that I knew the drugs were a short term event so I figured I should make the most of them ..... Payback was a pain in the arse ha ha ha
You know they make ear lobes for patients in the burns unit with the excess labia, yes?
Endometriosis?
I've made it into the shower and cooked a delicious meal of fatty bacon which has made me feel mildly better. Now I just need to gather the energy to do my ironing as well.
Wouldn't you know a few days ago I wouldn't have had a clue what that meant but now thanks to the Honi Soit drama I'm fully informed!
Bacon really is the hangover cure from the Gods.

Your nursing skills are outstanding!!!! We thought we would be taking a Dermoid cyst of an ovary, turned out I had severe endometriosis all over the place (even my hip and appendix). Full marks to you nurse [MENTION=30612]TraLa[/MENTION].
If for purposes of your studies you want to know more I'm happy to PM you but ill spare the general forum .... I'm sure it's TMI for most already. And yes you are welcome to use my rock of Gibraltar example. And don't get me wrong I definitely needed the pain killers, but I could have cut back on an endone here and there ..... and I probably wouldn't have indulged in spag Bol and the other lovely home cooked foods my hubby bought in for me ha ha ha
I do want to emphasis tho the nurses were very cool. I felt the love while I'm their care and really have the utmost respect for nurses.
Ha! So long as we don't start posting screen caps from Embarrassing Bodies I'm ok.
Oh and thanks [MENTION=30612]TraLa[/MENTION] for making me never look at earlobes the same again.

Be honest with us, was it one of those hangovers where you have to take a moment to crouch in the corner of the shower before you have the energy to go on??? Those are always the moments when I question where my life is going lol
I'm glad your feeling better tho. Flag the ironing. Not important on a hangover Sunday. Lie out in the sun under a tree or maybe watch a good movie

Yeah it's certainly a step up from my 'is he wearing a wig' game .....
Thank you Chump!
I would be really interested if you wouldn't mind sharing your surgical experience with me, particularly your experience with medication administration. But let's take it to PM, the gays hate too much vagina and ovary talk...
I think the sign of a brilliant nurse, is to make their patient feel safe, informed, liked and well cared for, whether we like them or loathe them. A good nurse can fake it Academy Award style!
But it does explain how some people seem to always smell a tad fishy doesn't it?!
It's all in the flappy earlobe!
I'll admit I did have to brace for a moment until the world stopped spinning. And I've decided to postpone the ironing and watch some deliciously trashy Real Housewives.
Right I don't want any of you to panic or overreact but I think Mutley and el'coopo have been abducted by aliens.
I am so worried!
While I feel sure Mutts will welcome the anal probing, Coops is frigid and will HATE it.
How long should we wait until we call the police?

Thank you, I do likes me some pompoms and will continue to cheer I knew you would do well though, there is a quality, and you have it! I will have to think of some wacky medication facts I can remember - Status
