Well boys and girls...

I feel for ya Blinkie. MAN I am sorry the pain has increased. Make sure you drink plenty and maybe get some laxatives, prune juice, lots of veggies and fruits. All I remember when I was getting injections behind my legs/behind, and then off that and on to Tylenol 3 with Codeine was that I was so bound up, I could not go for 2 weeks. NEVER wanted to repeat this scenario ever again.
Yes, any opiates/oids tend to stop me up.
They've been giving me stool softeners in an attempt to mitigate the pluggage, but I haven't felt the need to go yet at all...probably partially because I don't want to use the bed pan and/or let someone else wipe my hairy ass lol
My roomie tells me that they'll not let me go to surgery until I do though.
 
No IV pain meds in my case. Sadly, I had to suffer with the pain and then when I'd call for meds, the mean nurse(s) would tell me it is not time yet, then when it was time, I would wind up waiting 30-60 minutes PAST when it was time, b4 it ever got injected in me,
That is ridiculous, but I have experienced that in my hometown hospital as well....they treat everyone as if they're an addict/junkie. That hasn't been the case here though, until the nurses shift change...

I'm pretty sure they're nearly an hour late with my oral meds now too.

I type this with tears running down my cheeks. I may have to log off and focus only on my breathing and trying to relax...

Glad you said they thought to give you softeners. I am also sure if you had to strain to go,,,,,,,,,, I am sure that leg would HURT worse than it has to this point too.

I know, Been there done that with my low back pains.
 
Thanks Greg...
Because of the pandemic restrictions, my wife isn't allowed to be here with me past 6 o clock.

So aside from you guys, I'm all alone here.

Wishing you supernatural blessings and comfort, Man...

When one of my music friends got hospitalized a few years ago, I put on scrubs and an old backstage pass and smuggled a beer into his room, just to prove I could do it.

I thank you brother for the well wishes.
I have drank beer in the hospital before, but only after my kids were born.
I've had so many opiates in my system the last couple days that alcohol would be very dangerous for me to have right now, but that doesn't have to stop me from pretending I have one while I try to relax enough that my leg mellows out
 
Yeah okay....this sucks big time now. I don't think I'm gonna get the dilaudid back...I don't really understand why the PT lady wanted to see if I could get out of bed and sit in a chair yet....I still have the big surgery to do yet...I think maybe they wanted to see if they could send me home and free up a bed until it is time for surgery? But it made things worse than they were.

There was a shift change and the new nurse came in to check my vitals, and when I woke up it was excruciating!
Stay strong mate. Hopefully the pain will subside soon. I ended up selling my bike so that I'd avoid any temptation.
OK, that's BS... the wife made me give it up after we had a kid. :ROFLMAO:
 
Quick check in: 1:49am somehow I managed to fall asleep. Next round of meds should be coming in 10 or 11 minutes. Filled my Piss Jug. I better try to get back to sleep as soon as possible, each time I wake up it takes only a minute or two for te pain to come creeping back.

Like it is now.

Will check back in as soon as I can.
 
Hang in there Blink.

As far as having some nurse wipe my ass.
I’d welcome the daring nurse who would venture near my poop cannon. Especially after it’s smokin’ hot after being fired off.
My mind set is. Wipe away. And get in there, and detail the somabitch while you’re in there!!
 
Well if they're going to make me get up and out of bed again, I don't see why I can't just go to the toilet that is right in the room, or even use a bedside commode. I still don't really understand why the PT lady wants me to do this even before I can get the surgery done unless they're trying to send me home for a few days, but if this is what it's going to feel like I would rather stay put. Home is like 3 hours away, I won't get an ambulance ride back either. Like I'm supposed to be able to get in a car, and ride all the way back...
 
As I lie here drifting in and out of consciousness, I can, at times, hear screaming and moaning, yelling and crying out from all different rooms up and down the hall.

No point to really make here, just an observation.
 
Matter of fact. When you go. Announcing it loudly so the nurses station can hear would be great.

Maybe something like “FIRE IN THE HOLE!!”
Laughed out loud at this one…. ‘Cause it’d be something I’d do.

As for nurse wiping my butt. Few years back, had an ulcer I didn’t know I had decide to blow a gasket. Won’t bore you with a long story…. My smarter half booked me an ambulance ride to the ER…. All that blood needed to go somewhere and what I didn’t vomit came out the other end in large volume.

Point is. When one is in that situation, one’s dignity is pretty much gone. Turns out, I had no issue with nurse cleaning up my backside.

That would require a combat veteran, since I eat Habaneros and Ghost Peppers on a regular, daily basis.

Ever try to get chunky peanut butter out of shag carpeting while the rug is smoldering???
 
Late to the thread; sorry to hear you hosed your knee.
Hang in there, stay positive.

Dont sweat the bed pan thing or the nurse cleaning you up.
Let them do their jobs, and make sure you poop, your health comes first.
The only one hung up on it is you, they do this every day.

As for mixing the meds with beer or weed, I'll be the wet blanket.
A negative interaction would far outweigh any benefit.

That picture of you and your moobs made me really laugh out loud.

My last bike as a younger adult was a 1984(? the last year air cooled) CR500, man what a beast.
There is something special about unleashing that power and riding at the limits of your skills, sometimes exceeding them; pushing to get better at it, and enjoying the rush all the way through.
That is a big reason I never got a street bike; I need to ride free like wild horses.
Cues: Iron Maiden "Running Free"!!

I was fixing to start racing here at Englishtown but realized - same as with guitar these days: time.
I didnt have the time to practice, prep, then moto on race day.

Godspeed, heal up quickly and remember - much of the final outcome of this depends on how do the rehab stint.
It literally impacts the rest of your life.

Not doing enough, or doing too much on it too soon in an effort to get beyond it will not bear fruit.
