Just back from A&E

They gave me a morphine injection five minutes ago plus two cocodamol..
Can't say I feel any benefit yet.

Give it half an hour

I don’t remember being in much pain directly after the op. Think they maybe injected something before waking up. It was the following day I really struggled. I remember getting the shuttle bus from Ninewells to PRI where someone was picking me up. Every jolt in the bus seemed to go right through me.

Hope you get a sleep once the painkillers kick in.

Op done.

Fecking sore.

Nauseous, cannae eat.

Peeing for Scotland.

Nurses are brilliant.

Staying in.

Waiting for morphine.

Pump, attached to you and you can press a button if you need a hit. I think they're more reserved now for pailliative care in cancer

It's going to hurt unfortunately, they've drilled into bone. It's the impact on the periosteum covering the bones which hurts like fook, either from the break or the drilling to attach the metal work

I had the pump after both operations on my Femur, quite clever in that they're 'timed' to only allow another dosage after so many minutes.

Best wishes Mr Glasgow, sounds bloody awful, here's to a complete and speedy recovery !

I had a nerve block, which lasted about 12 hours plus my bones had gone to sleep after 3 months of non-union so I was able to control the pain with regular paracetamol. You are in a better situation having had the plate almost immediately after the break meaning you don't need to worry about the bone waking up and healing and as the pain diminishes you'll know you're heading straight for a full recovery. Just heed the physios and get that shoulder moving as soon as the pain allows to prevent it freezing like mine has.

Give it a day or so and it will start to settle. If your in pain just tell them if your not written up for much and it's not working then a quick phone call and they can get you on something else. May sound odd but eating something will help with the sickness.

 

[Wobblers]

I'd imagine being on Scotland the only plates they can find are these...

Hopefully at home. Oh I have lots of tales from my 6 week stay.

 

[glasgowcyclist]

Still in, hoping to get out today.

Noisy crackers guy left yesterday, replaced by a patient who fell in another ward and broke his hip. He snores on every breath in and moans with every breath out. Poor bugger is in agony, I feel really sorry for him.
