Well, I went to the hospital on Monday
morning and they finally did my surgery.
The pain in my leg is gone, but the pain
in my back is WAY WORSE NOW! Sometimes
when I try to walk, as they told me to do,
my legs just give out and I fall down.
Still nothing new on the medicine
frontier. I have told them and told them
again that the Lortab DO NOT WORK! THEY DO
NOTHING!! What did they give me in the
hospita....LORTAB! And 7.5 AT THAT!! And
muscle relaxers, but there is nothing
wrong withh my muscles! He did say in
pre-op that he was going to prescribe
Oxycontin, not sure on what milligram, but
I know that they will relieve pain better
than Lortab.
I have had 3 hours of sleep this past
weeken and the the 2 hours for surgery and
then maybe 2 last night, so I am tired and
worn out for now. Thanks again for
everybodys nice words.

Hello Ashoverman,
I'm happy for you that the surgery is now
overwith. Thank goodness the pain in your
leg is gone.
However, most concerned that the pain in
your back is now much worse. I hope that
it is due mainly to the surgery.
So sorry to read that they are NOT
listening to you. Most frustrating.
There are way TOO MANY in the medical
profession that just do not listen and
"hear" what their patients are telling
them. Seems like you need to give a few
of them the "BOOT" regarding the Lortab
bit.
Ashoverman, I hope that you will be able
to get some more "sleep" hours in.
Perhaps the doc could recommend an
appropriate medication for you.
THANKS so very much for giving us your
post-op update. The prayer E-mails to the
good Lord are keeping Him busy.
