Ernest T. Bass Posted March 4, 2014 Share #101 Posted March 4, 2014 I'm glad you're feeling better. Keep it up. The last time I was in the hospital my nurse looked like Jennifer Aniston. That made my stay a little more bearable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thaddeus Kosciuszko Posted March 5, 2014 Share #103 Posted March 5, 2014 The doctor took one look at what I was taking, and amazed at how little was prescribed. I saw earlier you said they were giving you Percocet. That's like taking a placebo on steroids - without the steroids. After one of my crashes the hospital gave me morphine, and I didn't have nearly the damage you took. I think you got swindled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can have just about anything I ask for, but I take only enough to bring the pain down to a tolerable level. It also helps that I have a very high pain tolerance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can have just about anything I ask for, but I take only enough to bring the pain down to a tolerable level. It also helps that I have a very high pain tolerance. I used to pretend to take the percocet (or percodans) when I was in the hospital, then take three at once when I really wanted to get some sleep. The nurses had to watch you take the pills they give you, but nurses were easily fooled. You have to deal with the pain for a few med cycles, but hell, you need good sleep to recover. Anyway, what the hell caused them to open you up like that? Did they have to go inside and rearrange things, or were you sliced up in the accident? Will there be any lasting damage other than the big scar, or do they think you will be hopping and skipping after 8 weeks like it never happened? Also, did Bill Belichick help you cheat death? Inquiring minds want to know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inquiring minds want to know!the abdominal cut was made to find the cause of air pockets in my belly area(the appendix/intestinal wall was perforated). When the pain is excruciating, I ask for Dilaudid injections(synthetic morphine), when the pain is less, I take Toradol by injection. Belichick's determination and resolve could help me find a way to recover from serious injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Former member Posted March 5, 2014 Share #108 Posted March 5, 2014 Good news/ Bad news Good news Lungs are clear of excess fluid, and the drainage tube will be removed tomorrow. Bad news I vomited about 85oz of bile this morning, and due to my inability to eat they will be implanting a picc line and will be fed through a tube for 4-5 days.

Former member Posted March 6, 2014 Share #112 Posted March 6, 2014 Just got done having the picc line implanted, was given the evening injection of Dilauded, and promptly vomited a day's worth of bile. Now I feel great, well relatively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chopped Liver Posted March 6, 2014 Share #114 Posted March 6, 2014 BSY....count the small blessings as you progress and don't fret the unpleasantries such as the picc line. Everyday you're healing and getting closer to be out of there......in the meantime, give the nurses (no murses!) a pinch for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArizonaPeter Posted March 7, 2014 Share #125 Posted March 7, 2014 Hey, BSY! So sorry to hear about your accident and everything you are going through. I hope the surgery goes o.k. and that you can get back to mending soon. Hang in there! Just an FYI….if you do end up needing a good attorney I had a great one here in Tucson who got great results after I was hit by a car a few years ago. He's a one-man operation so very personalized service, plus he's an avid bicyclist and pretty nice guy. One of his specialities is representing bicyclists who have been involved in accidents. Let me know if you want his contact info once you're able to deal with stuff like that. He probably could refer you to a good attorney in the Phoenix area if that would make more sense for you.
