 Went through enough of hospitals in 2002 after being hit by a truck in Cork City, 3 months in hospital 4 skin grafts and 9 visits to the operating theatre was taken in my stride and I cringed at the thought of what you went through.

It’s wasn’t pleasant.  I am a big wane when it comes to these things though.   



I’ve always wondered if I ever had a nasty off, if I’d get back on again, and I’m always impressed by those that do.  I cannot imagine being stuck in hospital for 3 months.  Anyway, will try and stay on it – don’t really wanna know the answer.


Apparently, my tubes are narrow, hence the stent, and I wonder if that’s also why ma wee winkie was well sare afterwards.

Glad youre on the mend. Youve got to watch out for some of these pain killers though. When I fractured my spine, I was on morphine and codine, and boy did it make shitting fun. Two weeks without a crap, despite straining for hours a day to pass it. When the first batch came out, it was like passing a tree stump. I swear Id rather have the pain than go through that again

 Cheers Agricola.


Fractured your spine!    FFS.  Hope it’s all good now.


Yup been there before with the pain killers.  It’s as foccing painful as anything when it gets out of hand.



I left hospital with a box of Laxido and I knew I still had some microlax at home from a pervious blockage.  The next day I manged a very quick trip to the supermarket, bought what I needed for a big pot of soup and grabbed loads of fruit.  I just ate fruit and soup for 4 days washed down with laxido – problem solved.

 
Like you say, when I got home for the first three days I was desperate to take some painkillers, took about three tramadol the first day, but that was it.  They just block you especially after all the good stuff in hospital.
