hi, got took into hospital last monday, still cant walk. hospital is gash, but the morphine rules.
hope to be out later this week, but it depends on whether I can walk or not.
hospital puts things in perspective, changes your outlook on life.
-
sorry to hear that. i hope you get better as quickly as is possible... :)
-
I hope that you are feeling better and can get back to playing soon.

Get well soon mate
-
Yeah, hope things improve for you soon HTH.
Looking forward to your hospital blog though. How are you managing to get www access from your hospital bed ?
-
Get well soon HTH. Don't tease the nurses (too much).
-
Sorry to hear that mate....
I think I heard somewhere weed is good for arthritis....sjust sayin....;)
-
Get better soon mate!
-
Hospitals are miserable places. Get well soon and out of there quick!
-
Get well soon mate - Unless the nurses are really pretty. In which case - Take your time :D
-
Get well soon and enjoy sister morphine!
-
Hmmmmmm, Morphine-very nice indeed. Best wishes HTH -get yourself well and keep us advised.
-
they wont let me have the sweet leaf in here but the morphine more than makes up.
the student nurses are FIT and I've been flirting outrageously :lol:
net access is via tv at each bedside.
had a big cortizone (kenalog) injection in my ackle at tea time, should see some improvements by morning.
-
:lol: Good to hear that beside you're there, you can make it good with the nurses :twisted:
-
Sorry to hear man. All the best for a fast recovery! Keep up the good spirits!!!
-
I had two pretty hot nurses wash my happy sack in April. If i hadn't just had an operation on said happy sack and if it wasn't a swollen, bruised wreck I'd have tried my hand...
More info than you asked for, hope it clears up soonish and you have a speedy recovery.
-
in all honesty, I could never get the hot student nurses to wash my hairy sack of magic, our lass would kick off :lol:
just got woke up at 6:30am to have my blood pressure taken - it was probably a bit high as getting woke up in the wee hours tends top p*ss me off, ha, ha.
fell asleep with my mp3 kicking out The Who to blot out the snoring from my 'room-mate', sounds like a pig - was p*ssed at him.
anyway, I got a big needle in the shoulder to look forward to :(
-
Hope you get discharged soon (oh err!) Get we soon mate...
-
Wish you all the best for a speedy recovery, HTH. Keep those spirits up, and get the hell out of there nice and soon, you hear!?

I was a nurse for many years, and I never really got why the "establishment" always wanted patients woken up early for their observations (obs) to be taken. OK, for critically ill patients, you need to take their obs very regularly for their own safety, as people can still die, or deteriorate a lot in their sleep. BUT for most patients, they are actually very stable, and would be much better off being left to get a couple of extra hours sleep, after being kept up in the night for several hours by snoring/shouting/crying/wailing Johhny in the next bed.
Its much more down to the tradition and routine being famliar for the nurses rather than anything else.
Truly, hospitals are the pits !! and I should know, as I have spent many, many years working in them. :(
-
I once got badly b*llocked for not waking a bed and breakfast patient up to do their obs :( It's a real struggle to fight against institutional tradition. I'd really want a good reason to wake up a young patient with a non-operative, non-traumatic orthopaedic problem though. When I used to work on a ward I'd always try to do my obs AFTER they'd done the morning tea round, I found people more amenable to it then ;)
-
I was sick on a hot nurse once. I think that it slightly impaired my chances of getting off with her...
Hope you feel better soon.
Mark.
-
even more stupid is the physios coming round at 9am - arthritis is typically worst in the morning so I can never do what they ask as everything is still too stiff and painfull.
on the upside, hospital radio was playing Metallica's Garage Days EP late last night, still sounds great.
-
Get well soon! ;)
Only had morphine once and... yeah, I see why people are into that stuff! It makes everything fantastic, no matter how many holes have been dug in you!!
-

My brothers a nurse, so I could send him along.
Actually, my mum's a nurse too...... I'd send her but she'd eat you alive :D

thanks for that kind offer, but male nures aint floating my boat.
spoke to my consultant earlier & the plan of action is very promising. if my joints havent settled down to usual levels requiring only modest arthritis treatment, then we are going to try some far stronger meds that cost £10k per patient per year.
oh, and I have a knee biopsy to endure this week too under local anaesthetic - expect it will be sore as f*ck afterwards, will be getting regular morphine to help anyway :D

yeah, its called oramorph - gives you a ready-brek glow :D
I'm filling my days in reading at the minute, started with Gordon Ramsey's biog.

hang in there man! sounds like your spirits are rising anyway ;)

They put me on oral morphine after my wrist operation 7 months ago. It didn't do anything :(
They said they didn't want to put me on the full-blown injectathon stuff because they didn't have any spare beds (it was day surgery to put a pin through my scaphoid).
Glad to hear it's working for you!

ouch! sounds nasty - hope thats all sorted.
I think the oral morphine by itself isn't that strong, but I also have paracetamol, tramadol and codeine four times daily so it all adds up to a yummy glow.

I saw this on the BBC web today:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/7560535.stm (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/7560535.stm)
If you are in Newcastle perhaps you can get on the test?
-
just to cheer me up, they took me into theater this morning for key-hole surgery. they took tissue samples from my knee and also washed the joint out to clear any infection.
still groggy as they gave me real-deal morphine via a drip. leg still hurts like a tw@t, hopefully they have prodded and poked me enough now to make a clear decision on how my condition is to be treated.

thanks for that Phil, seems like a very exciting development. I will speak to my consultant tomorrow and see what he thinks.

Do you have rheumatoid arthritis or osteoarthritis?

I've got reactive arthritis which I think is a form of rheumatiod.

The codine is a pretty good opiate anyway, I have a choice selection of the 6 main opiates in my lab right now. I could make a fortune selling the contents of my labs fridge to Glasgow's junkies, damn these morals and today is my last day too!
Sounds lovely HTH, knees are one part of the body that make me all squeemish. Will this clear up or are you stuck with it for a while?

the joints need to settle down and the swelling decrease, we're gonna try some brutish injection treatment on Tuesday if things have got no better. downside is that its self-administered twice daily and I have a needle phobia.
once everything settles down the condition can be controlled and I can enjoy a fairly normal life.

Self-administered as in you have to inject yourself?! :o I'm not sure if I could do that!

my girlfriend is gonna get a 'how to' session from the nurses, she's a star - no way I could inject myself.
-
yeah couldn't inject myself....could other people..

Sorry to see you aren't so well
I've had a year and a half of health problems but I'm just coming out the otherside.
I'd never been ill in 30 years and it makes you see everything in a different light
