DavyZ Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 Hope all went well. Type AFTER you come off of the meds--things get weird sometimes. Davy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMortensen Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 Good luck. I have deviated septum/tonsilectomy/adenoidectomy and a bunch of other sinus stuff coming out Friday. I hope those drugs work for both of us... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janaka Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 Its a cake walk. I had my right kidney out almost exactly 13months ago. Easily the best year of my life to date. Git-r-done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
datsun723 Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 I'm getting my wisdom teeth pried out of my mouth tomorrow. I am thankful for anesthesia too hahaha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turboHLS30 Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 I had a brain tumor back in 06' when I was in 6th grade worst summer ever but anesthesia is the best thing invented after the Z LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badjuju Posted January 9, 2010 Author Share Posted January 9, 2010 Im alive and well... 3 5mg tabs of oxycodone (perkacet - the tylonol) every 3 hrs 1 g of tylonol every 6 hrs 600 mg advil every 4 hours pain is almost managable, lol how did you other guys turn out?

datsun723 Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 Glad you're fairing well man! Well, the laughing gas didn't do crap for me. They upped it twice and nadda. I thought that was kinda weird and wanted to get loopy so I was disappointed haha. But I've been taking vicodin every 4 hours and icing my cheeks and there is only a little soreness. Its great! Much better/easier than I thought it would be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMortensen Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 I just took my first round of steroids to counter swelling. I expect I won't be back for a couple days, but if I can remember this in my drug induced stupor I'll post up then... Glad to hear you're recovering well.

JoeinCA Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 Well... Maybe I'm a pansy.. But last time I had surgery it was no fun at all. Catheters suck, prescriptions of 100 Norcos at a time aren't fun either... or fentanyl patches, or the muscle relaxers. Or 3 days in a hospital. Though I do miss the cooler with the timer and ice water pump, best way to keep swelling down ever! I need to find one of those things. Loved the morphine too. I was really annoyed when they switched me over to dilaudid, say that its more powerful... it is not! I am not looking forward to having the nerve stimulator installed. Ah... aren't back injuries grand? Good luck and speedy recovery to you guys! Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMortensen Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 Well apart from not being able to sleep more than about 10 minutes at a time, I'm very pleasantly surprised. I've changed my nose dressing 3 times and then took it off and I've hacked up some very bloody phlegm, but on the pain scale I was expecting a 9 or 10 and I got a 6 or 7. Turns out opiates work pretty well. We'll see if my luck holds tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavyZ Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 Turns out opiates work pretty well. We'll see if my luck holds tomorrow. Yes they do Hope you are fully on the road to recovery. Keep in mind that the third day is supposed to be the worst as far as swelling is concerned. DO NOT neglect the ice, Jon: it is your friend. Hang in there Davy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeinCA Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 If you chew the pills they work faster (bad recommendation, do not try) And if you take a sip of water after chewing a pill, it tastes very sweet, like powdered sugar. Pharmaceutical companies... silly opium pushers. I do recommend switching away from the painkillers well before the pain subsides. A side effect of opiate withdrawal is increased pain. So they can easily perpetuate themselves. and your discomfort. Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
