Once again coming at you from hospital Oct. 5th, 2023 @ 12:06 am
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.
