Once the nerve block wore off they gave me stuff via the drip.MingtheMerciless wrote: Wed Jan 05, 2022 6:04 pmOh you've had a nerve block, I had three in the space of a week, not wanting too worry you but each time the block wore off my hand felt like it was being mercilessliy squeezed in a vice, even morphine wouldn't touch it.Yorick wrote: Wed Jan 05, 2022 1:59 pm Recovering in private room at the hozzy. It was a tricky one as finger had 2 breaks. 25mm plate and 5 screws.
They just numbed my arm and did the deed. 3 hours later I can sort of lift it but no control. A dead weight .
Keeping me in overnight to monitor the pain.
And bloody hungry but can't eat until they say so.
When I had my knee replaced I was on codeine phosphate, 2 tablets 4 times a day. I set my alarm so I woke up to take them and kept the most even dose in my body that I could be. Worked out really well and I didn't suffer like many do.

Did fuck all. At 5:00 this morning I begged for summat else. Tramadol eased it a bit, but still hurts like fuck.
Coulda solved that for you - I didn't notice when the nerve block or local anaesthetic drip (which was pulled out accidentally by a daft nurse!) wore off. Only found out later that it was because the surgeon had stretched the nerved in my shoulder, so I had no feeling in my shoulder/arm at all!!

I forgot to ask them for codeine phosphate (was a smidge stressed). None of the opiates work, if it plays up again I'll have to try that!! LOLTaipan wrote: Thu Jan 06, 2022 10:13 am

Glad tramadol does something for you though

I slept on the sette in a sitting position as it was more comfortable, or my wife kicked me out for keep waking her up, I can't remember which? 
Anyway, I woke up in the night and I knew where I was, sort of, but couldn't remember who I was or who lived here with me. Eventually it wore off after a time stood still moment or three. 
No drug I've ever had has had that effect on me. I finally got my GP here to let me have Ibuprofen and Paracetamol as the mix works everso slightly better than just paracetamol. But TBF, neither of those options is particularly good. Just better to have something and maybe persuade my brain that drugs do work!! LOLTaipan wrote: Thu Jan 06, 2022 12:17 pm

I knew there were others here, but had no idea who. I looked around and my lounge door was really small and up high, like a Alice in Wonderland type thing!
I rang the on-call Nurse and she said stop taking them immediately and to use a combo of paracetamol and ibuprofen which worked well enough. I kept some codiene phosphates in case I ever felt the need to get trippy again!
Did you have some before you bought the Harley?Taipan wrote: Thu Jan 06, 2022 12:17 pmI came off of it in the end as I had a hallucinogenic episode with it!Noggin wrote: Thu Jan 06, 2022 12:06 pmCoulda solved that for you - I didn't notice when the nerve block or local anaesthetic drip (which was pulled out accidentally by a daft nurse!) wore off.

Where? Asking for a friend.Tesco in pitsea! Kid was sitting in a fiesta when a BMW X5 pulls up. They both get out, hug, laugh, then a zip bag with green herb was passed from Fiesta boy with some folded notes going back the other way! Didn’t even look round! As brazen as you like!!
For a moment then I was transported to 1970s California, sitting in a red Gran Torino with Starsky & Hutch.Taipan wrote: Sat Jan 08, 2022 3:33 pmTesco in pitsea!

My mind has been full with trying to work out what is best - nursing home, borrow against her house for more care at home and all the while harbouring a little resentment - "why me? why can't I have fun like everyone else?".
Something strange happened this morning. I woke up and all that was gone and without reason I knew exactly what to do. I packed a suitcase, picked up my laptops and headed over to hers where I am and will be for a while.
I phoned her doctors first thing and as the receptionist was saying in her nonchalant tone "well do you think you can bring her in?", something I've not been able to do for about five years, I blurted out "Because I think she is dying!". The receptionist's tone changed and she said "Yes, a doctor will be there at lunchtime".
The doctor came, we chatted about different drugs and then he started the conversation about end of life. He asked us if my Mum wanted to die at home or in hospital and we agreed home. He is going to refer her to The Martlets palliative care charity who will support us. He talked about prescribing drugs for here that will be ready to ease her pain when it's needed. In the hallway he explained that my Mum will probably have a heart attack that will end her life and in his experience, probably in the next couple of months.
I have spoken with my brother, my only sibling. Now I have to talk to my sons.
As the doctor left the room my Mum said "So I'm dying?". He didn't answer.
My Mum has Alzheimer's, COPD and heart failure. I don't know how much of his visit she will remember. For the rest of her days she will have me and the best that I can give.
