I went to get my pins out today. First one came out smooth as butter, didn't even hurt. Didn't feel good, but didn't hurt :icon_rolleyes: :icon_rolleyes: The second one he yanked on with pliers for 20 minutes until I was having breathing difficulty from the pain :o :o :o S I have to get it removed in the OR tuesday :mad: :mad: :mad: He said it's not a big deal, worst case they drill another hole right next to the pin to give it room tio move :o :o Best case they'll be able to yank it out :o :o :o Either way I'll be under anesthesia so whatever.
Now the really bad ( the above sucks but I can get over it, hell it didn't really surprise me) :
2 months til I can bounce again :o :o :o
4-5 before I can re-enlist because of the physical profile of my MOS :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:
The semi-good:
He said 1 month and I can ride again, I just have to promise not to get hit by any trucks :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
could be worse man, still sucks. Heal up man
I popped 4 percocets when i got home....still hurts :o :o :o
frickin ouch :icon_confused: anything that involves any part of me and any part of a drill :o eeh... bring on the gas! hope all goes well for yah!
yeah, it hurt like hell when he was yanking on the pin with pliers without it budging :o :o :o :o It's percocet time again :icon_rolleyes: :icon_rolleyes:

One of my friends just went through something similar... he had foot surgery and I remember him talking about how much it hurt when they had to litearlly YANK the pins out... :o
the first one didn't hurt at all :dunno_white: :dunno_white: but the second just didn't want to come out :icon_confused: :icon_confused: ohh well they'll get it out in the OR then I'll have my hand back :thumb: :thumb: :thumb:
haha percocet sucks. percocet, to me, was like chewing gum to solve a math problem. vicodin is where it's at.
It does decent for me usually.....it's not cuttin it right now. i might have to go back and try to weasel a vicodin scrip outta the doc. thankfully his office is only a quarter mile away..........hmmmmm.....maybe some IV morphine :o :o :icon_rolleyes:
you get used to percocet too quickly.
I will say that no pain killers really "kill my pain". Vicodin, though, makes me not care.
Toridol- it's synthetic and non addictive. They use it in the ER when someone doesn't respond to morphine.....like me. Morphine works but not that well :cry: :cry:
Ouchhhhhhh......I wish more doctors believed in EMLA cream (fortunately, mine does!....but then, I don't have to be manly...I can scream and writhe in pain if necessary)..... Glad they're putting you to sleep, dude!!
......to get the screw out, silly!!!!! :icon_mrgreen: :kiss3:
P.S. EMLA cream = topical anesth. that goes pretty deep if you leave it on for an hour!
I've heard of it.......Doc said it doesn't work well for deep muscle or bone pain :cry: this thing looks so nasty sticking out of the side of my thumb and there was blood everywhere :o :o :o
I wouldn't have been able to watch...I think they'd have had to put me to sleep before they came within 10 feet of me.... :o
toridol sucks, too. When I got all burned up they gave me $500 worth of toridol to start with and when it didn't work they told me "just give it 45 minutes and see if there's a change".
I hate my doctor...
??? ??? ???
I have to keep it bandaged, not out of medical neccessity but because the sigh makes me sick :o
I didn't watch, it's never a cmforting feeling to see your doctor yanking things out of your body with regular ass pliers :o :o :o
at least it's something you know isn't supposed to be in your body. I've seen the majoraty of the bones in both my hands and quite a few others. I've had more superglue enter my system than any other foreign object...and I've been stabbed/gouged/cut/etc more times than I can count.

Alaskan king crab fisherman
cool if its true, but why do you live in texas if true?
Not sure if i ready to believe that one
All I know about king crab fishing is it looks like a lot of work.
Don't you do something cattle related mak?
Yeah we can't tell you what he does to cattle, but mak & an have something in common ;)
Mak is Captain sig of the Northwestern :thumb: (sorry if you don't watch "The Deadliest Catch" ... but if ya don't , ya should ! )

Uh nope not buying it, Sig and Edgar live in Seattle. I do watch Deadliest Catch :flipoff:
I'm not sure they live there (hell , maybe they do) , I think that may have just been the location of the bar they shot the series at ... all the Captains were there , and a lot of those dudes are from all over the US (I think one is from Texas even ... Cap'n Mak! )
BTW - I just picked Sig 'cause he's the coolest of the Captains . Though I like Phil's brand of humor ... and that Jonathan dude is cool after he rescued that dude that fell in the water .... what was this thread about again ??? :icon_mrgreen:
Ahhh but if you watched it religiously you would know that Sig and Edgar do make Seattle their home. I know Jonathons brother Andy lives in Indiana, ok he has a horse ranch there at any rate.
Eh , i own my company so sometimes I miss pieces here and there 'cause of work . There's not much of anything I do "religiously" ... never was no durn good with Church learnin' :icon_mrgreen:
