Brutal mate
Got more tests coming up this year but no word yet
Fingers crossed for nothing serious
Years ago I went in for day surgery on my good knee
I asked to be awake during the procedure with an epidural as anaesthetic takes a toll on me when I come to, not a pleasant experience
The surgeon said no problem as a nurse stood in front of me grabbing my shoulders
I wondered why she was doing that, then soon found out
The anesthetist stuck the needle in my spine and I fell forward and if the nurse hadn't been there I'd have landed on my face
Worst pain I'd had in a hospital, so the guy tried again, same result, right into the nerve, FUCK !!!
He got the right spot third time lucky but the juice was now in my body
After about ten minutes they figured I must have gotten frozen enough, so the surgeon starts on my knee with the drill
I said "I can feel that..."
He was a bit startled, ask me if I was joking...Nope, then he said to the nurse put him under
So, I wake up in recovery room, there's no feeling in my legs but next day there was bruising on my lower back, and when the nurse came in and asked if I could stand up
I said sure
Then swung my legs out of bed,and proceeded to fall on the floor, as she tried to help me from having any more joyous things happen...they get me back in the bed, and a male nurse showed up
I said to him " I think I've peed myself..."
Guy had an attitude, and waved me away dismissively with "No you haven't, it's just
the fluids, and your imagination"...
I said "No I'm definitely peeing myself"
He rolled his eyes, and whipped the covers back, and there, low and behold, was my version of the Trevi fountain doing it's thing
Upshot was they gave me waaaay too much sedation and now when my knees give me gyp, I just suck it up and get on with it
I should maybe have posted this in the laugh thread
