sneak Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 Heres a list of things i cant or struggle to do at the moment: - sit down - lie on my back - lie on my front / side for more than 10mins - take a dump - have a shower - drive - walk more than 45mins - work - eat without feeling sick - scratch where it itches. Bloody "lets remove this infection once and for all" surgery. Cunting doctors leaving me with no advice on how to live like this. I currently have a massive "pressure pad dressing" taped firmly to my backside, covering an area from the small of my back (where it curves, where people hide guns) down across my bottom to the top of my legs. I dont think this is what they did to me, but its a pretty grim flick... All i can say is thank god for: Got seasons 1-4 done already and started 5 again last night. Anyone got any advicew on how to deal with post-surgery going mental disease? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Realism Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 It looks like they pulled a chicken tender out of your back. On the serious tip though, television and videogames are lifesavers...painkillers work wonders too...if you can have friends or family over at any point definitely do that too just to break the monotony of being by yourself (if you are). Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sneak Posted May 18, 2010 Author Share Posted May 18, 2010 that first pic was unappreciated... so in conclusion sneak. and cannot, and will not open your thread again. haha, my apologies! thats NOT me in the flick tho... pertplus, i sleep with difficulty. im used to tossing and turning all over the shop when im asleep (an ex remarked that i move around a lot while asleep). its hell...i wake every few hours numb on one side, spend 5mins getting up and turning over. rinse and repeat. i have a sack of codine, but it made me constipated and didnt really do a great deal to help.... my friends seem to have all dissapeared off the face of the earth at the moment, so im relying on my e-friends. Im day 6 into this thing. got a docs appt on friday to hopefully have stitches removed. I just re read my discharge papers from the hospital and from what i understand i have a layer of stitches with gauze packed underneath then more stitches below that.

!@#$% Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 after i broke 7 ribs and a collarbone at once, everything was really painful. everything. laughing, sneezing, laying down, sitting up, shitting, pissing, eating.. time heals and virtually nothing makes it go by faster. smoke weed and watch tv. tell them the codeine isn't working, it sometimes doesn't help people and they might get you on something that works. however, after it's over you will have the most amazing appreciation for health life will be better than it was before.

Allwhitepeople... ive got plenty to re-read. i enjoy reading for pleasure so im still doing that. filling up sketch books too... talking of which, if anyone is up for some sketch exchanges, get in touch!

abcs Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 and all they gave you was codine? Ok.... Get the fuck on the phone like 10 minutes ago. Tell them exactly how you feeling and DEMAND OXYMORPHONE & some damn Fentanyl suckers... then mail me some. Heres the scoop. Codine is like some tylanol. It helps the pain a little i suppose but not much else. But you in pain & miserable right? .... right? The stronger shit will kill the pain and make you not care that it hurts.

Spitfire15 Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 I got cut open in pelvic region. Afterwards, I didnt even need to take a single pain killer. Then again, I wasnt sitting on it, so good luck with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolf Harris Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 can't you mix your codine with laxitives? then you can have a shite and be pain free? orange juice sizzurp... try that. if not. demand stronger painkillers from yir doctor... they'll give you them.

JUST THE TIP Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 sorry to hear about this, mate. insist on some stronger pain meds and have somebody bring you a few curb your enthusiasm seasons on dvd. dont forget to snack on plenty of j-e-l-l-o.

sneak Posted May 18, 2010 Author Share Posted May 18, 2010 a& some damn Fentanyl suckers... . i read something about these things, aren't they more addictive than heroin? fuck that shit man, im trying to live a clean life! im not actually in much pain, apart from muscle aches in my thighs and legs. its surprising, i thought i was going to be crying. im hoping and praying that the fact im not in pain means everything is aok. its more the being stuck not being able to do much thats getting me. feeling tired, not being able to sit or move properly. i mean, shit last night i cooked some food - an effort to stand and do - and then had to kneel at a coffee table to eat. i managed for about 5 mins before giving up.

morton Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 When I was recovering from surgery and did not have full mobility I found that the muscle cramps were causing more pain that the surgical site. Hit up some muscle relaxers and it helped a great deal more than the pain killers. I also worked my way through many a episode of the wire during that time, a buddy dropped off his playstation and that helped as well.

!@#$% Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 yup, it was the wreck. ( i got t-boned by a dude going 60mph then my car went through an iron fence) i was going crazy too, to the point that i started going back to work after about 3 weeks. it took me like 30 minutes to do a 5 minute walk to the subway and once i got to work i was good for nothing, but it was better than being stuck inside. luckily i like solitaire and drawing. you could try to take up a hobby, like miniature train weathering or something painstaking that takes a lot of time. best wishes to you for a speedy recovery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sneak Posted May 21, 2010 Author Share Posted May 21, 2010 Day ten and the first load of stitches is due to come out today!! I had a post surgery moment of paranoia yesterday when I thought I had felt one of the wounds (one close to my arse) collapse and explode open (no homo). So after a quick (3hours) trip to a & e, I had the wound looked at and pronounced ok. By my count in the last few months I havw had 31 strangers prod and poke my backside. 31 was quite hot actually... I also have a flick of one of the wounds if people want to see... However: it is a pic of my White and quite pasty arse, it's not very gruesome looking (surface damage is minimal as all the work went on under layers of skin)...
