Operation was a success. Seems like I have the same operation about once a year. My last one was in April of this year. I think I've now had five in the last almost four years.
Do you remember to have them punch the card? Maybe the next one will be free. Hope you feel better soon.
Funny you should say that. There was a punching sound as they secured my stitches. I feel fine. Bad part is that now I get to have two large gauge needles stuck in that same arm nearly on top of the spot where they did my arm surgery. Ugh, not looking forward to that. The arm surgery was to enlarge a vein in 4 spots so that they get a good flow rate during dialysis. They use balloons to enlarge the vessel. It creates so much back pressure that it felt like my head was going to explode for about half a minute. Here's possibly the good part, they gave me lidocaine and I think also may have given me fentanyl. I've had it once before and got no particular pleasure from it other then a relief from pain. I'm allergic to most other pain medicztion. Can't even take aspirin or advil.
Look at the bright side. Now that I'm a man again you can dream about me, just don't tell me about it.
Damn Lanny, I'm kinda new here and I had no idea you were having such issues...hopefully, you'll be back on your knees in no time. j/k...good luck, and I hope you get well a.s.a.p........ This place would not be the same without you.
Glad to hear the operation was a success. Get well soon. You’ll be back to your usual crotchety self in no time.
I've got a shitload of medical problems due mostly to my combat experience in -68 Vietnam. Counting this, I've had nearly 30 operations, lost my eyesight in one eye, and get thrice weekly procedures at the VA hospital because of the loss of my kidneys. Okay, I'm tired of this subject since it depresses me and I'd rather be optimistic about life. Please bear with me if I occasionally need to release some pent up pressure due to what happened to me, after all, these continued procedures which mean no vacations ever and a virtually nightmarish experience lasting from when I get up at 3:30 AM until I get to bed at night at about 11 PM sometimes throwing up at random intervals and feeling exhausted and lousy. A couple months ago I passed out when I stood up and fell on the floor hitting my butt on the floor and my back and head on a nearby chair. It's no fun, and now back to other subects.
