Guest guest Posted July 2, 2001 Report Share Posted July 2, 2001 The next thing I knew there were six doctors around me saying I gave them quite a scare. I was in the ER and they were giving me NarCan (sp?) to counteract my drug overdose. Guess when they were prepping me to go for the leak test, someone hung a bag of pain meds and started it into my IV drip, but no one disabled or adjusted the morphine PCA, so I was getting both! I went to sleep and stopped breathing with my apnea and my blood O2 level got so low my fingernails and lips turned blue! So, when the NarCan kicked in I could feel myself waking up and all the pain come back to me at once; it was really lousy – and they took away the morphine altogether.>>>> Teri: Oh, man! How terrible! So glad you made it through that scare! And, how great that you got a private room and your dh was able to spend the evenings with you... I'm glad you're at your parents and resting up.. You seem to be doing really well! I hope the nausea stays away -- for good! all the best and welcome to the other side, lap ds with gallbladder removal January 25, 2001 five months post-op and still feelin' fab! pre-op: 307 lbs/bmi 45 now: 240 lbs/bmi 34 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
