# i've suffered from severe insomnia my whole life
i'm used to it by now

# I survive on
3-4 hours a night now and have done for years. I may get 5 hours if I get really steaming, comatose drunk the night before. I have a site meeting at 7 am tomorrow and around midnight I realised to my horror I was sober, so I'm hammering the bacardi in the hope I will get a few hours sleep. Insomnia is the worst curse.

And you Miss Monkey, why the pills? You are not an overly large lass if I recall?

# i'm larger than i appear
and have to lose weight in a hurry to have surgery. i could lose the weight naturally, but my health has pressed the issue somewhat

# ah in that case I approve.
Is this operation available at bupa? And just how long would I get free amphetamine before I absolutely, positively had to admit I don't actually need the op?

# pff
i'm actually having the surgery done in an ex-bupa hospital. they give you a morphine drip with a button. you press the button, you get morphine. they will take it off you, however, if you press the button too much

# you get them in the NHS too
they tend to only take them off you when they're empty as they're programmed to only work a specific number of times (normally once every 5 minutes) and the pain team are too busy to actually check the usage statistics of each patient, so unless you're in pain and it's having no effect they just leave you to it

# think the hedgehog from hell
and a GP are required first.
the other thing they do (rarer) is to maintain an epidural for about 24 hours post op, this is annoying as it (usually) prevents physios getting patients up out of bed as they have no feeling in their legs

# i just wish
i hadn't had to quit smoking before this op, it's steadily driving me nuts!
