I’ve been a lone walker through life. Recently had some more stress losing vision in my left eye again and having my fourth heart attack over Christmas. At least it was an interesting time, if rather painful, but that morphine is quite nice.
Not sure if it was the good drugs, but there was a tall heavy Yank nurse performing a John Wick routine, rather like Cederq’s MMA “Kung Fu” dance on the fight dummy video that Phil posted a couple months back. More entertaining was a nice Yank girl nurse (quite a few expatriates work here for Queensland Health) who rather took her time shaving my groin. I could have sworn that the others called her Sandy, it would have been a nicer experience if Sandy warms her hands first! Maybe before my next rotoblasty surgery in a month, these two on Thurs and on Fri not successful, apart from me surviving of course, although if the Cederq character hadn’t kept standing on my oxygen line it would have been better.
I’ll have to ask for a doggy bag of some meds the next time, and get that Sandy girl to block that draught. Dunno why she kept giggling about YouTube points, but. Strewth, it’s hard writing this nearly blind, I hope that my heart meds don’t screw up the bleeding from my macular any further.
Damn, Johno, at least you got better drugs than me. I went in on the 22nd for a stent and spent two and a half days being loaded up with Lasix, laying in a bed that equaled a torture chamber with no pain management. I got two more stents and lost ten pounds in the deal. Now I’m at home, trying to get over being in that bed. There’s got to be better pain meds for heart patients than Tylenol.
Hope you have a speedy recovery! Last hospital spell in the hospital for a collapsed lung I was in bed for 4 days before the double masked Doc told me I could get up and walk around.
I should have punched his face in.
Judy, I’ve only had morphine twice, both after MIs, it’s good stuff. No wonder that the druggies go for it. I hope that you recover.
I can’t take morphine, I am allergic to it, develop rashes and get very agitated! So don’t slip me a micky Johno.
Umm, never slipped anything to anyone, certainly not going to start with you!
If you meet up with any of Phil’s Bustednuckles ladies, they may decide to take something so that they don’t remember anything in the morning, but.
“I’m allergic to morphine, doc. The only pain med my body can tolerate is Dilaudid. 10mg IV push. I’m in terrible 12/10 pain, doc! I need it RIGHT NOW! And can you move like three feet to the side? You’re right between me and the TV and I’m tryna watch the game.”
Make mine Exalgo… The brand used by 4 out of 5 dillies junkies.
I wish you the best Johno, and keep your bloody hands to yerself.
I’m too tired and broken to even think of pestering nurses, beside which they put Cederq’s buddies on duty. Now at home and sore.
Johno, I’m so sorry you went through that at Christmas. You are not alone my dear man, many of us care about you and pray for you. And Judy, I pray for you and wish you the best dear lady. My problems seem small in comparison.
Good-oh, Sandy. Your own problems aren’t small if they trouble you.
Don’t put that video on the YouTube but, it will go viral and break the servers.
Thank you for the prayers. And as Johno said, if it is troubling you, then it is not small. A prayer that you find a solution to the things that are troubling you.
I’m of two minds about the hospital beds from hell. (CederQ probably had a hand in designing them.)
A) It’s to make the patient so miserable that, as soon as they are conscious, the patient is begging to go home. Or
B) It’s to stove-up the patient badly enough so when they get home they have no choice but to rest up so they can heal up.from what every they had done.
Judy! I can’t believe you said I was instrumental in designing them! I hate them as much as the next person. I always maintain and voice to whom ever is in ear shout the clinics and hospitals all buy from: “Let’s Torture the Patient Furniture Company.”
Hahaha, I knew that would get a rise out of you! The best bed I’ve found so far in the local establishment is down in ICU, and it is bed number 3. Nobody was brave enough to go downstairs and bring it up for me. And believe me, I ask everyone, from the cleaning lady to the cardiologist who put my stents in.
You had to stay overnight? I had stents put in and after the procedure I drove home 122 miles from Sioux Falls to De Smet, SD
Yah, I had to stay for 2 and a half days. I had too much fluid built up and couldn’t lay flat. The ol’ ticker is pretty much crapped out. It is bad enough the heart surgeon wouldn’t touch me in March of 22, so the cardiologist has put in seven stents to try and kick the can down the road a little while longer.
I have 5, all stacked in the same cardiac artery, the LAD(left anterior descending artery) Mine was due to a congenital defect, the artery was too small through a significant section distal to the left coronary artery. Mike_C can better describe it and it is usually called a “widow maker.” Once the section was opened up, I have had no problems, so far and no unstable angina or tightness of chest sort of symptoms.
The problem is, is that most people want to be a lion until it’s time to do some lion sh!t. Then they’re exposed as the sheep that they really are.
Johno and Judy may you rest well and heal quickly remember your tough hombres like the rest of us with our maladies.
Dad wasn’t lying when he said to me getting old is hell, so you two refuse to grow up
Praying for you
Thanks, Bear Claw. I haven’t decided whether or not I should have partied harder or gave the ol’ bode a break as a youngin’. Either way, the Good Lord had me wake up this morning. So evidently, I’m supposed to keep aggravating TPTB with my presence.
