R.S.Hoover's Back Operation

The pain was an artifact OF the procedure. I should of been FORCED to take the painkillers about 1500 instead of being allowed to sleep. But the instructions fell into an information gap somewhere between the physician and me. I'll probably end up addicted to morphine but I'm willing, so long as it keeps the pain at bay. Which it does, if they give me enough of it. Right now I'm feeling no pain; shoulld be able to bathe by myself. Mixed feelings about that :-) Lab results are VERY GOOD. Going down this morning for another check but if the present trend continues, I'm on the road to recovery, at least from that portion of the PAIN. If we can keep the pain corralled we're good to go for a more aggressive chemotherapy regime; go after the tumor where it lives. The more of it we can eat up with the chemo, the better my chances of being around for Christmas. And beyond. Vetebroplasty. Good medicine. Cats gave me head-dives this morning as I WALKED amongst them. No canes. And NO PAIN. Still got a few probllems to work out, such as no strength, but the lab reports say the demon is back in its cave. So take a bow, guys. A lot of this has been due to your support, most of which has not been publicly posted. Hell of a note, Badwater Bill and all, happening at the same time. I'd rather have the pain if it would bring him back. -R.S.Hoover God Bless you, Bob. Never give up the ship. Don't be bashful about taking the medication. "Morphine is your best firend", my doc used to say, applicable to times when you are hurting. The releif promotes the healing. Or as we used to say, "Better living through chemistry". . . . wait, that was from a commercial, wasn't it. Flash I recall the relief I got from morphine when I had a kidney stone... sure was nice... John Did that too this summer, John. Quote (echo): "sure was nice". Flash |

was nice... John Did that too this summer, John. Quote (echo): "sure was nice". Flash Do yourself a favor, and go see a urologist, and do a 24 hour urine catch test. I had about 15 stones, ended up having to get one cut out, and did the test. I have not had ONE SINGLE STONE, since then, and all I did different is take one small diuretic pill. Did I mention that it is nice not to NEED morphine? g Morphine has been my friend in the hospital before, though. Yep, there isn't much anything better, when you need it. My kids still tell stories of how I was saying, "morphine is my friend" with a stupid grin, lying in the hospital bed. g -- Jim in NC |

He got a lot of things really right, and was funny, too! Believe it or not, I have experienced pain so intense, that I would have begged for a kidney stone, or killed myself if I had been able to get to a gun. I had a staple blow off of a gall bladder removal, and it filled my gut with one liter of bile, before they got around to figuring out what to do, and doing it. I went from being OK, to in pain magnitudes worse than kidney stones, in about 15 minutes. At the hospital, they gave me all the morphine they could without stopping breathing, and had to get the dilaudid. I don't remember anything after that, but my family says I was still screaming in pain. Six and a half days later, I finally got to go home, a much more humble person, about how bad it could actually get. Having your body trying to digest itself from the inside out is one thing I recommend avoiding, if you can. So yes, pain killers are a blessing, when they are needed. I also ascribe to the theory that you do not get high, or addicted, when they are used for the control of real pains. Also, I am grateful that the doctors figured out how to put the lid on my kidney stones, and that they would not be an issue for being able to hold a medical. -- Jim in NC |
