Oh geez! Glad she is ok. She’s probably gonna be feeling it tomorrow. Make sure she takes it easy.

 

Nice ride! But as a young lady, she's probably pretty involved socially and needs a vehicle that can accommodate friends n fun... kind of like this activity-oriented SUV that I saw earlier this year when homeboy tried to (unsuccessfully) rob a local bank and then hole up across the street from my kids' school. BTW, nothing quite as exciting as getting that email "lockdown notice" from the principal.

 

Not all.

 

word would get around fast

 

It'll take a month to get my sleep pattern back to normal. Sleep all day/awake all night. Damn near impossible to sleep in a hospital. About 9 or 10 hours before I get out of here. At least the nurse on duty has a cool Land Cruiser. We have that to talk about.

Doc says I'm OK. Gotta start taking another overpriced med.....

 

hang in there, ive been on blood thinners before they ant cheap!!and my nurse when i had my heart procedure told me this. she was cool

 

Bill ..

That's good news from your Doc !!

When I had my knee replacement at the VA Hospital back in Nov 2014 I was there until the Day before Christmas . I had a hard time sleeping as well but once I got my pain meds it was lights out

I had two roommates that snored loudly and that was part of the reason for not sleeping .i remember one time about 0300hrs my roommate was snoring so loudly I got out of bed and with my walker hobbled to the nurses station . I told the nurses I can't sleep due to his loud snoring . They let me stay at the nurses station until vitals check . Never understood why the nurses would check your vitals at 0445hrs . I had blood thinners while I was there and hated those injections done by the Vampire I mean phlebotomist

Unfortunately I had problems with my knee replacement and had to have a revision done 6 months later which was a 3 week stay in the hospital . This time I brought my walkman with ear buds and was able to sleep soundly listening to country music . Even during the early morning vitals check the nurses couldn't wake me up

 

I'll tell you this though , Some of the nurses at the VA are hot looking !!!!

 

actually mine was too, like wow!and she was very flirtty!talkin about it along time after it and i said Raylene was great.. wife gave me that look and said You Remember Her Name!!

 

Looking back almost 4 years since my knee replacement it definitely was an experience . You'll like this , I was so drugged up / medicated I'm surprised I still remember that hospital stay every 4-6 hrs it was (2) vicodins , (1) extended release Morphine pill and (2) vials of liquid morphine . I was so drugged up that physical therapy was pain free

 

I remember one of my nurses she made my stay there fun and enjoyable . the Evening after my surgery I had friends there and the ordered pizza . I had a couple slices and she came into my room and told me she won't say anything to my doctor what I was eating 6 hrs later after major surgery

 

Quick story,procedure was 6 hours and i was doped up heavy,really didnt remember much but my new daughter in law stopped in she is a neuro surgery nurse,asked if i remember the doc in the tie dyed shirt.i said no, well he was ur anastesioligst and asked you if you were in pain.she said i dropped more F bombs in one paragraph than she thought was possible!said my fn shoulder is fn killin me and when i catch the fr that beat my ass im givin that fr a fn whippin he wont forget.she said he shot me up with the 2nd strongest pain med they had makes morphine look like baby asprin said i just layed back and smiled..i appologized to raylene and told her i would tell the doc sorry if he would stop by.she said hell they were all laughin there asses off and i made their day.i dont remember any of it

 

I remember doing something like that in the recovery room after surgery but wasn't swearing .I was in so much pain I was very uncomfortable and the nurse gave me something in my IV . That med was so strong I was beyond relaxed but within 30 min the pain came back and I received more meds

After the 3rd time meds were given to me the nurse said you've got enough pain meds onboard to drop an elephant

 

Morning.

But......male nurse

 

Morning everyone, a little rain today. Have a good one.

 

Good morning all.

Yeah, you don't go to the hospital to get sleep.

Last year when I was in the hospital for the pneumonia, one of the nurses noticed a guns & ammo magazine I had. She was into shooting so I became a fav patient.

 

Morning
