tazmocycle Posted December 6, 2009 Share #1 Posted December 6, 2009 went in tues for my second surgery to get my leg to heal up from breaking it in 05 when i wrecked my 01 venture. around sun i started getting a pinching in my lower back and didn't think i was going to make it to surgery it was hurting so bad. they gave me 2 valiums while preping me and it didn't do a thing. when they rolled me into the surgery room the sleep doc gave me a shot and last i remembered was them strapping my arms down. when i came to they said the surgery went a lot longer than the 1 to 1 1/2 hrs to 5 hrs. the 2 bones in my leg had grown together and they had to cut and saw them apart. back was still hurting some, but my leg was killing me. they was giving me morphine but wasn't easing my pain much. got out fri and got home around noon and went to bed and got some sleep. pain meds last about 4 hrs and i stay awake a couple of hrs so i don't get hooked on pain meds. got me in a plastic walking form wrapped with a bunch of ace wraps. going back to doc on 15th to see how it's doing. hope it all works out in the long run so i can get back to work.

skydoc_17 Posted December 6, 2009 Share #8 Posted December 6, 2009 Hey Don, I didn't know you were still suffering from the accident back in 05'! I hope that this will be the last surgery you will need. Both Jean and I wish you well in your recovery. At least you can heal up over the winter months and be good to go come spring.

Yammer Dan Posted December 6, 2009 Share #11 Posted December 6, 2009 Sounds familiar. My small bone never did grow back togather. Large one has steel rod to support it. Now foot is a crazy mess. if i could chop off right leg at knee I think I could do better. Good luck with yours and watch those pain meds. Hydocodone seems to be best for me but they are being abused so much by Druggies they are getting hard to get for those that need them. I had 4 surguries on mine before they gave up.
