I am going to have a serious meltdown

Hey every one just need to vent a little. So anyways I had a laproscopic cholecystecomy, yesterday, and i was in major pain, when I asked for pain meds the PACU nurse that I had acted like it was a chore for he to get som meds for me. Themn when she did she gave me morophine (am Allergic to it) and I ended up having a really hard time breathing. Then she doped me up on the maximun amount of fentanyl that she could and then was upset because I was still confused and kept taking my oxygen off. (my sats dropped to 75) and after all thoe drugs I was still in agony, and she just basically ignored me. So then Just before I was going to go home she brought me an Rx for Tylenol#3 ( allergic to coedine) (all my allergies were on my file) (the doctor prescribed the tylenol before he left for home). So when I told her that I was allergic to coedine she asked me if I would like to use the tylenol anyway. (at the risk of having a severe reaction). when I said no she said okay then you can go. So I was sent home with no appropriate pain control. and regular tylenol with advil did nothing to stop the pain. did I mention the while I was in the PACU she just let me lay there and cry. I am not usually such a sissy but this time I was in rough shape. So anyways I am just about done. then she tells me I have to stand up ang walk around but she didn't let me take it easy getting up she just hauled em up and out of my bed. then I told her Iwas going to faint from the pain and she just ignored me and I ended up on the disgusting floor . :angryfire

I went to the ED last night and the doctor that was on made d*nm sure that I was not in agony so that is all good, I am still in major pain and had a slight fever all night and only slept for about 1h, so I think that i am going to go back to the ED, to make sure that I don't have an infection. I called my Doc today and her receptionist told me to call the surgeons office, the surgeons told me to go the the ED. Ring around the rosey..... thanks for the advice everyone. P.S. when I become a nurse I will not ever say to someone "You are being such a baby about this, you only have 6 tiny holes cut into your tummy"

P.S. When I called the surgeons office and told receptionist that I was in alot of pain she said " well of course you are you just had surgery" And I said

OH REALLY? Like um yeah DUH! :selfbonk:

I've seen a lot of post-op lap chole pain from pts who had a lot of cauterizing done to them as well.
