Thank God for pain pills. My wife finally got my doctor to break down and perscribe oxicotin yesterday. I was on Viox which is good, but only lasted a short time. So I was in pain most of the time. Now I take both. And I feel sooooo good. Can't concentrate worth a shit, or spell very well. But I don't care.
I mentioned that I had a spinal done for this hip, so I was 'awake' during most of it. I may have been awake but I was aware of very little. What I was aware of I didn't care about at the time. Again modern medicine at it's best.
The saw was the worst part. I both heard it and felt it. I knew what they were doing, cutting the head of my hip off. The vibrations ran through my head and teeth. But it really didn't bother me it was more like, oh there goes the bad bone...
Then they had to drill out the bone (femer?) and set the implant in. Felt the drill, not too bad. Then I heard the hammering, steel on steel. It was like being in a blacksmith's shop or something. Very weird.
I do not remember anyone saying anything to me or to anyone else. I became aware when they said that they were taking me up to my room.
As far as being a typical male patient, I am guilty. I don't follow orders very well. I am supposed to use a walker anytime I am up. I don't I stumble from wall to counter top, etc. Now at least I rented a wheel chair so I could come and talk to you guys.
Not supposed to cross my legs, period. I have been crossing my legs for 41 years. You don't just stop. You are not supposed to bring your foot on the operated side beyond the mid line of your body. Or the hip could pop out, and another operation would be needed.
This is getting long maybe I'll split it up.
