Unhappy BJ was in a car accident.....
Quote:
I was in an auto accident and can barely stand to sit here I’m having so much pain in my back. I was in the passenger seat and some guy broadsided us doing 50 mph. They took x-rays and nothings broken, just a lot of soft tissue damage in my back and neck. My right knee went into the dash and it’s 3 times it’s size right now. I have to have surgery tomorrow on my knee. My seat belt holder went into my kidney and I broke a rib which hurts like heck and they don't do anything for it. I’m sorry for not getting on here but I’m in a lot of pain and I’m on heavy duty pain meds. Thanks for all the messages and PMs. I can't reply now but it means the world to me

I had just read this too Bizi, thank you. She is having surgery tomorrow. TG she is OK. I know you can't write BJ, but I want you to know how much I appreciate your getting on to let us know. You are in my prayers dear friend, and I will light a candle for you tomorrow when I say my prayers in anticipation of your surgery. I pray that everything will go well. This will take you some time to recover from. I just thank the angels above that you are here with us. Take care. We love you.

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.
