Follow-up

At 2:00 a.m. I drove out to get prescribed medication to settle my wife's stomach and to shut down her dizzyness and prevent her vomiting.

Her vomiting is causing the stitches to break loose. I'm concerned that they may have to stitch her up again. If we can get her stomach settled down enough to eat something she might be able to take the pain medication, she's hurting quite a bit.

It appears that it's the medication that's causing the problem since she throws up approximately an hour after taking the medication.

We contacted her doctor and I drove down to the hospital to get her the prescription for Percocet.

Once I get the Percocet prescription filled I flush the Vicodin down the toilet so that she doesn't take them accidentally. I thought about keeping them for myself since my insurance already paid for them but better safe than sorry. I don't want her to take them months later after she's all healed up with a headache and then have her throw up like Regan in the Exorcist again.
