WOW .. getting both done at the same time
is tough. I could not have handled that ..
as it is, I’m lucky to be alive. Got a
blood clot in my lung the next day .. thank
God I was awake and felt so breathless I
knew something was wrong and yelled for
help.
My D-I-L’s colleague had the same surgery
the same week. She just never woke up ..
died from the clot.
Prayers that you find relief soon .. I surely
empathize with you. I sure would be on that
doc’s doorsteps frequently to push him til he
thoroughly checks what’s happening with the
healing process and pain level after this amount
of time.
Re the narcotic pain pills, I had a rotor reuter job on my right knee last August.
My orthopod wrote an RX for 60 Norco 10mg/325 tabs with a refill. With a sig of 1-2 tabs every 4 hours.
I took eight tabs in total. The discharge RN gave me one before I left the hospital, and I took another one that night. Then, I went on a half tab a couple of times a day. My FP told the Ortho that neither my wife nor I do well with narcotics. She gets severely nauseated and I get weirder and with no pain relief. I ended up with a week of Toradol tabs 3 times a day. Then, I went on Alieve liquid caps twice a day.
