I should be going home tomorrow!
All the tubes have been removed (I had a lot of tubes in me, at one point) and I am no longer on my fascinating cocktail of ketamine + fentanyl + oxycodone + other things, it's mostly just paracetamol and oxycodone now.
For a couple of days I had ketamine on steady with a button to press for fentanyl, which was very effective but also did a number on my ability to keep my eyes open and/or focus rather than seeing double when they were open.
I'm now dealing with a strange after-effect. I have no sense of vertigo or disorientation, but I also have no sense of balance. I just... tip over. Really easily. It's weird.
I'm also up after midnight because I'm long enough off the fentanyl now that the cough-suppressant effect has worn off and a whole lot of gunk wants to come out of my lung RIGHT NOW.
About to try and have a go at sleeping.

I did! Didn't even get woken for overnight observations.

Got to sleep for six hours straight without even any observations!

Sounds great!
Hurrah for sleep!
That falling over without the warning of vertigo would be scary for me, so I hope your sense of balance comes back pronto.

Fortunately it did. I'm pretty sure it was essentially the effect of coming off all the ketamine and fentanyl.
