Monday's surgery

Sprinklers are on my yard. Wish they were buried, never have got around to it, have around 7 sprinklers and at least 500 feet of hose.

I hope you heal quickly!

I am normally on the other end of the medication spectrum and avoid any Rx pain meds I can, preferring to have a little more pain than feel disconnected and have vivid dreams that seem to go with the Rx stuff.

All kidding aside, speedy recovery buddy.

Take care and take it slow.

Maybe that's why I don't really worry about opioid addiction for me, I can take a fairly large dose and other than pain relief it doesn't really do much for me. I had one surgery where the Doctor had me taking 3 Percocets (don't remember the size) every 4 hours. He told me to set an alarm to take the dose, said you don't want to sleep through and have the pain wake you up.

I asked the anesthesiologist about it on Monday and he said it's not common but does happen. Maybe that's why over the counter pain meds mostly do nothing for me.

Off the pain meds for a day and a half so drove the Ranger (will be a few more days to get into the Miata) last night to the grocery store for a few items. Used one of their motorized carts and had all my groceries and was about a half an aisle from the checkout stand and the battery went dead, had to find a employee to push it the rest of the way.

Got up this morning and the pain I had when walking was much better, still hurts but I can walk a fair distance without my cane, also see a very noticeable improvement in the leg pain I was having before so I guess the surgery and stents were worth doing.

Great to hear, steady as she goes...
