I then remember saying something to the tone of "I can't do this, I need to lay down" LOL... Good stuff is right!
Well, I got lucky. I work part-time in the ER that they transported me to, so I got some pretty heft doses of morphine and dilaudid for the pain. When it came time to try to reduce the fracture, they gave a VERY liberal dose of versed. if may have hurt when they pulled, but I can't remember. That's what versed does - causes amnesia. I highly recommend asking for it by name.
