Wicked nightmares after surgery

I'm 2 days out and I think mybe detoxing from drugs etc but i just woke up I'm a sweat from what felt like the worlds longest nightmare.

I was in a hotel, but not the one I'm actually in. My kids were here and I kept having to save them from Dieing. (Quick sand was sucking up my son and I flew over him and pulled him out). Then I went home In the dream but it also wasn't my house. Lol. My husband had bought mice and rats and ferrets and I was sweeping all of the animals off tables really hard w my forearm and flinging them against the wall. Lol

I think the dreams were freaking me out because also in a part of this crazy nightmare my heart felt like it was pounding out of my chest and I kept going from floor to floor to find someone who would call the hospital but they all looked like something out of a Steven long movie and laughed at me so I had to find my way to the hospital. On my way I found a letter from my surgeon that said "I'm sorry, yes, the anticoagulant can cause pounding heart"

Then I woke up thank god.

What the??!

I'm not going back to sleep for a while now. And it's 12:40 am. Sigh. "/

My dream side effect happened right after surgery I think it's the chemicals. Anyway I dreamed I was bidding on eBay and every time I bid the song call me maybe would play and it kept happening over and over and over. It drove me insane!

Yes its the drugs, it will get better...

Vicodin does that to me (which is why I insisted on coming home with anything but Vicodin)...it's incites uneasy sleep filled with looping fever-like dreams. I like to calling it "riding on the hamster wheel of doom." It does get better.

I wonder if ketorolaco is the equivelant of Vicodin.

That IS a nightmare :P

The crazy dreams are a prolonged side effect of anesthesia. I had such vivid dreams in the hospital my nurses would come in and wake me because my pulse and Oxygen levels would change. They said its normal. And I don't have those dreams anymore :)
