Post op day 4...bad dreams!

I think this was the day they switched me from morphine to dilaudid. Although it sort of worked on my pain, I could feel my abdominal muscles moving against each other, like when you try to pull apart two socks that have static cling. It was totally gross. The next day I think I went back on morphine. The dilaudid also gave me terrible paranoia, and would put me in a sleep that caused me to wake up suddenly and terrified, like you see in the movies. It would have made me sit straight up, but I was never in a reclined position. I just woke up gasping and glad to be alive.
