Hardware removal and this sucks...

[Guest guest]

Hay all...

Thing is, out-patient yesterday to get the upper hardware out, I had

pushed one out and the pain there and honestly all in the sinuses where

they were was not good. So had to do it and did feel and still do that

when I am healed again, I will feel much much better. After all, I had

felt very good before this started up. so I'm all about chin up, but

holy cow...this was a doosey.

I had major pain postop in recovery, more and more morphine then muscle

relaxer, then vicodin before leaving and now 750mgs don't even kill the

pain. I am going in first thing tomorrow bec my right nostril is

dripping clear, light bloody drip-whenever and for however long it

wants...but clear brething...then on the left, it seems I have some

wicked discg=harge from my upper back sticthes in my mouth...and

nothing at all out of my nostril. then there's the phlem, and it's very

bloody...often...and swollen, dear god, I think it's more now then the

real surgery, and more than yesterday or this mjorning for that matter.

I am not happy. doing all I can to not tweak, just deal with the

moment, and not cry, knowing that will not aid my healing at all and I

do not have plates now so healing is even that more impt to avoid

repeating surgery etc.

Work is insane, the situation is as poor as before...when I told them

of the surgery, not even what surgery I was having, I mean for what and

on me where, the first response was...... " AGAIN?! " (yeah jerks this is

how I like to spend my vacation days truly!) but thing I now am

juggling is a'special meeting " next week to better my situation that I

am trying to decide if I should push or not, I don't now how " back to

normal I will be by then with today as a first step...not very aspiring

at all.

So may need to push it.

I know Shilloh had this, said it was not too hairy, anyone else have a

story to share on this, info,exp? I am a toughy but this stinks.

Waa.

I think today is like the first days home after icu and I didn't expect

that.

so...trying, but today with the insomnia I have again, like the last

time doesn't help me any---odd that this happens to me, as I am not on

T3 like last time and I never have trouble sleeping...so good thoughts

and welcome any smiles or suggtestions...etc.

thanks guys, JO

Dear Jo

My, you sound in so much pain. My heart goes out to you:-(. I am not

familiar with what type of surgery you had, I think you must have

gotten it done just before i joined this board. I would definitely go

see the doctors again if you are still losing blood, particularly

from your nose. Ouch. I'm afraid I'm not much good at giving advice

as I still have not been through the surgery yet so I can only

sympathise with you and send you lots of warm vibes. What I can tell

you is to not think about your job. That is the last of your worries

right now! Keep us posted on your progress.

Warmly,

Sara
