How is morphine measured when given through an IV?

Ever since I had my gallbladder out I have been having episodes of intense pain, sometimes to the point that I have to go to the hospital. I had never had morphine before until I started going to the hospital during all this. During the past five months I had to have five morphine injections through an IV. I don't particularly like having to be given morphine all the time but it's the only thing that sort of, key words, SORT OF works to calm the pain. So my question is how is morphine measured (mg, ml, cc, etc) when given through an IV? And was in a normal dose? The last time I was in the hospital they gave me "400" of morphine and then about fifteen mins later another "400" of it. That seems like an awful lot to me and I could feel it tingle through my body but maybe that's actually normal? I'm just curious.

Kitten Cleaning Issue?

My kitten is now about 10 weeks old, and she's fine in every respect apart from she doesn't really groom her rear end, so she tends to smell a bit. I've had several cats before, and have never encountered this problem. She's eating well, had her first injection, and generally is very bouncy. I bought some cleaning wipes and have been doing her paws (which also smell a bit sometimes) and her rear, but will she soon start to clean herself?

If the Mariners actually cared about winning, should they trade Ichiro for top minor league prospects?

It would seem so, but I think trading for a top prospect is impossible since I think Ichiro has a no-trade clause in his contract.

Calories in these two fast-food chains?

Mcdonalds lists the calories of all their products on their website so i assume Subway does as well.

If Jesus had not gotten credit for some of his miracles like the loaves and fishes, WWJD?

If he would have reacted negatively, does that mean he was doing it for his own glorification more than to help people?

I don't get it, is she into me?

dude screw texting. texting is the worst form of communication ever, plus she might be bad about responding to everyone who texts her. she seems to be into you, so dont text her, make a move in real life. but dont text, texting is the easy way out.

What position should I try out for (details inside)....?

I know you're all worked up over this but your coach is going to decide. You don't pick where you play. So it's really out of your hands.
