I'd request a 5 day truce.

Spent the night in the emergency room, surgery this afternoon. No sleep since yesterday morning.

Minor hopefully, but general anesthetic. Cut me some slack til the cobwebs clear.

No problem. Hope everything is ok. Prayers for you and get well soon.

 

[Plainosooner]

Thanks. Anesthetic will be my first sleep in 30 hours.

 

[fortworth4ou2]

Rest well and have a speedy recovery.

I had my left leg amputated above the knee March 6th and my recovery has been slow. Being old and out of shape is a problem. Relearning how to walk has been difficult. Took my first steps post surgery a couple of days ago in rehab and it felt amazing. I still have so far to go.

Come back strong brother.

 

[iasooner1]

WOW ! And I thought I had 'issues'. Take care & get well everyone

Hope mine are just limited to the physical. No guarantees though.

 

[iasooner1]

(I see what you did there bro)

 

[iasooner1]

Thanks. Anesthetic will be my first sleep in 30 hours.

Technically, it's not really sleep. Afterwards when you're off the juice and recovering then you'll get some rest except when interrupted every so often by nurses, techs etc. Insist they close the door when they leave.

Good advice.

But even when they close the door, you can still hear all staff conversations all night long outside your door. Respect for the patient's ability to get quality sleep is not a priority.

.Hospitals and rehab facilities exist to implement their protocols and not yours even when you pay a butt load for their services. I was on a 3 hour interruption schedule. Rest is possible but sleep is difficult to come by.

 

[Plainosooner]

This is a good place. Pretty sure they close the door faithfully. And I don't think I ever had either a private room or Gorgeous nurse. Today, I actually have both.

Plaino, I hope it is nothing serious. Is this something that appeared suddenly or is it something that you have had for awhile? Take care my great friend and you are in our prayers.

Fort Worth I was sorry to hear what you have gone through. Stay positive and you are also in my prayers

 

[fortworth4ou2]

Thanks bull

 

[Oklabama]

Get better soon, Plaino. Fortworth, I hope I never complain again....at least, on the Sooner Board. Best wishes to you both.

Thanks man.

A thread like this one seems to put all the squabbling between us in its proper place......that is, it makes it all so unimportant, which it really is.
Fortworth and Plaino, take care and keep contributing.

I was at St Mary's in Rochester for a few days last summer. The nurses there were all 'top shelf'

Don't let them off the hook. If you can't sleep because of nurse chatter, be "that guy in 412" and complain like hell. Make them respect your need for sleep. I had the same situation and got hold of the nurse honcho. Things went better , then.

 

[iasooner1]

Yep I give them the first night post op to do their thing but after one, I'm "the guy in 412"...

 

[CalSooner]

Sorry to hear about that. Get well quickly.

 

[Plainosooner]

I'm okay.

Surgery at 3ish. Spending the night. Calfs all wrapped up. A massager on the wrapped up area from clotting. There were a lot of clots clogging up the plumbing. If you prayed, thanks.

FW, stay courageous.

Amen that, and ditto..

Never been a believer but had a bunch of weird stuff happen to me this very week. Good luck, Plaino.

I'm glad its over & I hope you continue to do well. . Having clots can be very serious. You will probably be put on a blood thinner. Did the MD say what caused the clots?

Take care my friend.

Ft Worth,

Can we call you 'stumpy' yet or too soon ?

Thanks Bull.

The blood gelling was in my urine, from a bleeding prostate after that exam that all males hate. Just blood at first, but it started congealing and stopped all flow. I was lucky/blessed that my urologist was free enough yesterday to get the surgery done. Not fun, but when it comes to sudden ER trips and immediate "proceedure" it can be a whole lot worse.

Likely go home tonight or tomorrow. The dr. asked me if I was in a hurry to go home. I told him I had something to watch today from 3 to 6. And I wanted to be here or home that whole time at one place. So he said probably better to spend the night here. But I couldn't go home before 3:00. Maybe go home at 7;00.

 

[iasooner1]

Sounds like you're on the mend. Hopefully you didn't have a TURP; sometimes bad unintended consequences...

What is a TURP my friend.

 

[iasooner1]

Transurethral resection of the prostate. Kind of like roto-rooter via laser...

 

[fortworth4ou2]

Ft Worth,

Well you can call me Ray. Or you can call me Jay. Or you can call me Ray Jay...

Stumpy sounds cool. Stumpy4ou2. I like it.

Btw, my wife calls me Stubby. I like yours better though.

Yikes!!!!!!

 

[iasooner1]

Yeah I know right ? Peeing better via this method sounds 'good' at the time. Avoid if possible

 

[Plainosooner]

Yikes!!!!!!

I had yikes three years ago. That was where the bleeding came from.

Yikes, is pretty accurrate.
