You might like to grab a cuppa before reading this tome. LOL For some time (I think LOL) Ive posted about not having a motivation or get up and go nerve. So this arvo I rang my surgeon who was willing to give me a way of explaining it. When Id had my fifth surgery in 6 weeks (AN and CSF leaks) some bright spark in the ward decided to give me morphine. Im allergic and had a red band on me to show allergies. Cut a long story short, they had to reverse the effects and accidentally overdosed me on antihistamine. Next step was to get me breathing as I was taking 3 breaths per minute so out came the shock paddles! My surgeon says I have suffered (wrong word because I definitely dont suffer anything LOL) loss of oxygen to the brain. This, as well as all of the surgeries has had an effect on my brain. So the upshot of this is that I dont have the fight or flight mechanism working properly. This can be a positive as I dont get anxious, morose, or deeply depressed. I still have moods but the down/sad/worried moods dont last long because I think of a positive in EVERYTHING I think, say, or do.
