Vomit-olympics

Opiate painkillers work well for me, unfortunately I seem to manage about 8 weeks on a painkiller then they start upsetting my stomach.

Last night I went into work and had my night painkillers with an hour my stomach began to feel like a washing machine and initially it felt like a normal cycle, then a slow spin, then a fast spin and then a very fast spin, this was then then followed by me legging it up the corridor very fast.

This set the tone for the night, I struggled my way through the shift with regular visits to empty my stomach contents down a porcelain bowl. I have just been on the phone to my doctors surgery and I have an appointment to see the nurse on the Thursday at 3pm for yet another painkiller review. Until then it will be paracetamol and deep heat, my staff will smell me before they see me!

Here's hoping my stomach forgives me before Wednesday, its our last night shift before we return back on to day shift and we're having a chinese and I am buying. They've been a great team to work with and I want to say thank you to my staff.

Here's hoping my stomach recovers before Wednesday
