As previously posted, my mouth is a mess.  I can barely swallow liquids now.  They gave me back my pain pump full of dilauded.  We all know how I feel about dilaudid.  I love it.    While in my quest for relief, I managed to find the perfect high.  It was three, 2 mg shots of dilauded, given over 45 minutes due to safety restrictions put on the pump, one container of liquid Tylenol and one IV push of Benadryl.  Benadryl alone puts me to sleep almost instantly, but the combo was an expected “gift”.  Self medicated and feeling great, I finally slept from six am to nine am without being bothered.  I enjoyed that high and that sleep.  I would do it again given the chance.  I just don’t want to feel the pain in my mouth anymore.  Mind you I didn’t set out with this as my intention.  It just kind of happened as the Tylenol and Benadryl are my pre-meds for the blood products I receive.  What a happy little coincidence though.
