Hi Davit, Sorry I have watched too many comedies and I can only see that nurse from hell scurrying round your bed making things difficult for you.  I hope you heal well and that the nurse rounds get changed.  What kind of op did you have or I mean why do you have trouble walking? Ann

Hi Davit,
 
Sorry you are having pain and having to deal with a difficult nurse. Let us know how this is resolved. Making a complaint might be a good idea, especially if you have had trouble before.
 
Red, I love your cat! Such pretty colouring

Davit,
I am sorry to you are having trouble walking and are in so much pain..Hopefully your Doc can figure out what the injuries are and take some x rays today..As for that nurse I would follow up with that complaint when you are feeling better..Some people should never be allowed to work with living people in the health care field. They are better suited to working in a lab testing  urine specimens where the have no direct humane contact..
 
Let us know how it goes today...

Well things went down hill. Went to the hospital but got the nurse from hell so I will see my Doc tomorrow. I've had trouble with this nurse before. Time to make a formal complaint.
Still have a lot of pain and still having trouble walking. Still taking large doses of Keflex and Hydromorphone. I did arrange to get some things done that I can't now. 
I will have to do withdrawal from the opiate and that is not going to be fun. I've done it before and know what to expect. Two days of anxiety usually. So it might be two days of valium.
Tomorrow is another day. And today will be in the past. Gone, poof, not important.

Davit.

Davit, 
It's good to hear your spirits are up and that you live in such a nice community..You are so lucky..
 
As for me I added a new member to our family today..I just put up her pic for everyone to see. She is 7 months old and so cute and loving with lots of energy. We got her though a animal rescue and when I saw her I just had to have her and bring her home..She has adjusted to the house already..It's like so was born to be here with us..I am looking forward to spoiling her rotten..Of course I already got a jump start on that one..

Except for having a lot of pain in my hip I feel great. I'm having a little trouble getting the medication balance right so I can get something done rather than sleep. I'm hoping to be able to get to the store for a few things I'm running out of. I have an account there and they will put my order together and put it in my car for me. One of the reasons I like it here.
I have a couple of things that have to be done in the next six days so I hope this gets better quick but will accept what I get. That is all I can do.

I want to thank all of you.
 
Just an update.
The muscles are stiffening up in my leg so it is getting very sore to use. I have a high pain tolerance so it will be okay. I swear though that when I stand on it my eyes sweat. I broke this leg a couple of years ago and it was so bad that they decided to leave the pins in. It could have a crack in it or it could be one of the semi-loose bone chunks has shifted or it could just be a tore muscle. It will pass into the past in a while and be forgot. Now Greg will be a different storey. When I am off the pills I will crack a bottle of his favourite wine from my cellar and Me and Richard will have a toast to his memory. He did like my wine. He was a pain in the posterior but that was what made him unique.
