Subconsciously I thought something was up with them specifically putting that in there, but I didn't really give it a ton of thought. But I certainly noticed it and took specific mental note of it in the back of my mind, if that makes sense. Like her saying "always" the good stuff, or whatever she said, stuck out to me for a minute or so following her saying it.

And now that you mention it, it could be gleaned that her being a little more relaxed and loopy due to the pain meds is directly attributable to the effects of the pain meds.

That's a long ass, rambling way of saying "you may be on to something here"
