Morphine Scare!

When this happened I was in my room at the hospital. I was feeling pretty good at the time and they had explained that the morphine pump would only release so much each time I hit it. It also had a lock on it and I couldn't dose myself repeatedly. Cool, I could control my pain without calling for a nurse!
I remember deciding to take a nap as I felt exhausted (this is probably a normal feeling after major surgery, lol). I thought that I would hit the morphine pump one time so I would be able to sleep without pain. I drifted off to sleep.
I woke up several hours later and there were what seemed like 50 people standing in my room staring at me! This freaked me out. I asked what was going on and apparently when I went to sleep, it was a very deep sleep. Almost coma-like. The nurse had trouble waking me and I got really pale and my lips turned white. I was more freaked out after they told me all of that. I just thought I took a nap. Anyway, it turns out that I am allergic to morphine and this was how my body reacted. It slowed my heart rate down a lot.
I remember calling the nurse after I hit the morphine pump because I felt like I was having a hot flash and was dizzy. My doctor had the morphine removed immediately, but enough had gotten into my system for me to have a bad reaction. Because of this reaction, I had to wear a heart monitor the entire time I was in the hospital. They were just being cautious but I assure you, I have no heart problems and was tested thoroughly before surgery. What a way to find out you are allergic to something!
I was afraid to sleep that night and "G's" son spent the night in my room to watch me because I refused to be left alone. I was terrified and refused any more pain meds until the next evening.
Mu nurse that evening (she will remain nameless) was not the greatest. My catheter was not draining properly and it leaked across my leg a couple times that night. When I called for her to check it, both times, she said it was fine and not leaking. Can you please explain why I felt pee trickling across my leg? I called for a nurse at about 3AM to check it again because I felt like I really had to pee. If you have ever had a catheter, then you know that you don't even realize when you are peeing and should not feel like you need to go. She answered my call, said ok and no one ever came. By this time, I was very angry and would have climbed out of my bed and killed her if I was able. At shift change, my new nurse checked the catheter, realized it wasn't draining and fixed it.
I saw one of my surgeons later that morning and he agreed to remove my catheter. What a relief!
I was also up and walking the halls at shift change because I could not stand to stay in bed any longer.
More about the day after later.
