    Was it morphine causing all

    Was it morphine causing all these things?   I was told that I would have a morphine pump, but then for some reason they gave me dilaudid instead.

    Morphine?

    Maybe they thought you were already having too much fun?

    I had half a dozen songs...

    I had nearly a dozen songs running through my head. Still had two making like earworms two and a half weeks later, so over the weekend, I googled them.  Turns out they were all Frank Crumit songs, he an old vaudeville and radio singer. My father had some of his records plus used to sing along with them around the house or on his own when he was puttering in the garage. I'm not sure I've thought of the bulk of those songs very since I was a preschooler.

    No morphine was involved, no controlled drugs. Just my poor old JerzyBrain trying to make sense out of a bunch of stuff, I guess, and that's the first dusty box it found it its attic.  I'm not sure it succeeded too well, but there you go.  Since I chose to listen to a website with 100+ of Crumit's songs that I found when I googled the two, they've pretty much all come back home to roost in my brain. It's a little scary, but mostly hysterically funny. To think that I sang along with the songs when I was just a little tyke is pretty bizarre.  I'm sure I was entertaining when I sang "Show Me the Way to Go Home," "Ukelele Lady," and "Mountain Greenery" the time I visited a Sunday School class as a preschooler (That I remember quite clearly, including that it was the ONLY time I went there... Coincidence?)! 

    And no, while the songs were running throught my head post-surgery and I was still in the hospital, I didn't sing along. Wait. I don't think I did...!

    I'd say

    Your dad was watching over you.

    I get "visits" from my grandma, rarely happens but calms me when I know she's there.  With her, it's a scent.  Smells flowery, a perfume she always wore, but something I've never been able to find in dept stores.  The scent will fill the area I'm in and yet no one else smells it.

    And nope, no drugs here.  Tongue Out

    Spent 2 hours today

    Talking with my insurance company and various labs, imaging places, etc. working out how much I actually owe and figuring out payment plans. I wish I had a little something to take the edge off and make me a little loopy again, ha ha. Sealed

    Maybe...

    Maybe you could run up and down a flight of stairs a couple of times? Or, if that sounds like too much work, just go ahead and hyperventilate. 

    You'll be swooning in no time!
