bj, sending you lots of healing thoughts and praying for a quick recovery.

I got home late this afternoon and I’ve been typing this in Word so I could cut and paste it. I couldn’t go home because I couldn’t go to the bathroom. The surgeon said the morphine and anesthesia put my bladder to sleep. Eventually they had to straight cath me several times because I still wasn’t going. It was a good thing because I don’t think I could have been home without the morphine. Eventually the nurse cut the time I could push the button and increased it. They gave me a femoral nerve block and it’s worn off and the pain is excruciating right now and the percosets are tearing apart my stomach. I'm still having a lot of pain in my back but the surgeon is hoping that it will ease up once the knee heals.

They gave me a femoral nerve block and then versed and fentanyl to calm me down. I asked if I could have a mojito cocktail in there but they didn’t go for it. The male nurse painted my leg green while singing O Christmas Tree, I think anyway. I don’t know if it was the drugs but I remember that. When I got to the OR they said I’m putting you to sleep and that’s all I remember until I woke up in the recovery room. I do remember they gave me 5 shots of morphine before they put the pain pump in because it felt like my leg was on fire.

It’s so good to be home even though it looks like I’m spending my Christmas on the sofa. I have to use crutches for 2 weeks and I have this huge brace on it. I still have the drain in because it’s still oozing a lot of stuff. The nurse is coming tomorrow to take it out. She said she’d take a picture for me on my cell phone. I have a cyro cuff to ice my knee and cpm machine which I’m supposed to use to keep my knee moving. And I have to go to physical therapy on Monday. It was unbelievable because the night of surgery they made me go to rehab. They said this could take up to a full year to be right again. I tried not to take any pain meds when I got home because I wanted to spend time with Hooper. Big huge mistake.

I'm sorry that you where a passenger in a auto accident. I'm sending (((Hugs))) your way. I'm sorry that you are having intense pain. I hope that the pain goes away quickly. I hope that you feel better soon.

I'm glad that Hooper is there to keep you company. Happiness is a warm puppy. BF

(((BJ))) I'm so sorry for what happened. Remember...you're supposed to take the pain meds to keep on top of the pain!

Big mistake with the pain killers...one night I thought I could make it through the night without my meds and I woke up a few hours later in pain crying and it took me hours before I could get ahead of my pain.

You take care of yourself. Don't try to get ahead of yourself. I have done that a few times and paid for it for days.

Prayers and hugs to you!!
