What a buzz!

I am taking percocet for the pain and have been very unimpressed with the effects of a narcotic. Basically it didn’t feel like it was doing anything for me but I do have to acknowledge it does seem to be taking the pain from a 7-0 (on a 1-10 scale) to a 3-4 which is good. But no loopyness or being out of it or anything like that. Nothing to make dealing with the pain more enjoyable.

After taking a dose I ate a banana pudding cup. Regular with sugar. And man oh man do I have a buzz. I don’t know why it is hitting me this time but my head feels like it is barely attached. I have to pay attention to get my feet to step in front of each other. My hands go flying all over. It would be great if I could just lie down and enjoy. Sadly I am in the middle of trying to make something to eat so I can’t do that quite yet. This is the loopy part I was thinking I would get from the pain meds and I get it from a cup of pudding.

The percocet didn’t have this affect when I took the previous dose. I guess the other times I have had the banana split pudding, I was just suffering too much to notice the sugar buzz. Either that or I have just the right combination of sleep and food and paying close attention for the effect to kick in. I have described the affect of sugar on me as a spin the wheel sort of situation. This seems to be another example.

Wooo hooo. Finding my nose seems to be entertaining at this moment. This is almost like having alcohol.
