Road Runner Posted March 8, 2014 Share #151 Posted March 8, 2014 How in the heck does that happen? Weird! Yeah. I wonder if that happened in the crash or was caused by the surgery? Still, if it's fixed, that's the important thing. Now you can eat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now you can eat! the healing of the remaining portions caused a strange shape. imagine how bacon changes shape as it cooks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randomguy Posted March 9, 2014 Share #153 Posted March 9, 2014 BTW thanks for all the cards. It fun to hear Mom read what you guys write. Your mom is reading all the sendables? I am really glad I didn't send porn, I was seriously thinking about that. When are you out of the hospital, btw? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When are you out of the hospital, btw?Last week was more of a step back, than a step forward, so I had her read Cliff and Chris C's(KT). I think I've finally started to recover, and the doctors are saying another 10 days before getting discharged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smudge ★ Posted March 9, 2014 Share #155 Posted March 9, 2014 Wow, another 10 days! Well, your body has experienced a lot of trauma. It's probably good to be under supervision while the initial healing is going on. Though I'm sure your own bed at home sounds pretty good. The bacon analogy was a good one; I totally understand now why you needed another surgery. However, I won't be eating bacon again any time soon!

The_Karen_Cooper_Incident Posted March 9, 2014 Share #160 Posted March 9, 2014 Iwas probably morphined-out. Right now I'm pretty high on morphine, and watching South Park - Bigger, Badder and Uncut. My intestin were a twisted mess, but the trauma surgeon assured me things at right now. Things will improve. Ah, the warm glow of opiates. Depending on the delivered drug, that can bind you up too. Get well man. I've been praying for ya. Couch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smudge ★ Posted March 9, 2014 Share #162 Posted March 9, 2014 Aww, look at you! Lookin' pretty bright-eyed and with good reading material! My husband's been in the hospital many times for surgeries (mostly spine), so I have an inkling of what it's like to be there for so long. But your case is far and above anything he/we've encountered. You're looking a lot better than the earlier pics I've seen. Keep up the good work! (of course by that I mean resting and healing.)

Randomguy Posted March 10, 2014 Share #174 Posted March 10, 2014 So how long until you stop puking? When can you sit up by yourself? How long until you walk? Ride? Was your leg broken in a few pieces, or a nice clean fracture that won't be too troublesome? I am really curious about this, let us know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UglyBob Posted March 11, 2014 Author Share #175 Posted March 11, 2014 Just a quick update. Just got home from seeing Bosox. He looks a lot better, but he still has a long way to go. He walked about 450 feet while I was there and was pretty much his old self. Still not able to eat yet, but they are hearing some bowel sounds so it may not be too much longer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hearing bowel sounds???? Is that the extent of the modern medical system we have today. "The guy will be out of here soon. Did you hear those bowel sounds!"

Did you hear those bowel sounds!" It's an indication that the digestive tract is alive and functioning. You would be surprised at what you can learn just by listening to the body. It's still one of the most effective, noninvasive tools in modern medicine. Basically, when he can pass gas, he can start to eat again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
