Ah yes, and writing pages of coding so you could play a tennis game on a 36K computer!

rotary dial phones, party lines, color TV, 56Kbaud modems, invention of seat belts, TV remotes, Air conditioning.... these were the things that were new as I grew up.... ;)

DARN! Phooeeee! So that's what the problem is with PB - I was hoping for a rum and spice (like Captain Morgan's best) with some tobacco in it.

No rum in Pirate's Booty , cocoa and cigar tobacco , good stuff , I haven't tried Oompa , too many comments on it requiring months of steeping before the chocolate comes out but I'm thinking milk chocolate as opposed to dark chocolate in Temptation , if you find Shadow too light try ordering with extra extract before giving up on it , Temptation and Heavenly Army do pack more of a tobacco punch than Shadow , any HHV that you find light can be ordered with extra extract or flavor , just ask politely in the comments section when you order , I order all my juices that way , BTW I'm vaping Pirate's Booty right now , awesome stuff , BK loves it , though he'd probably kill for it if it had Myer's rum in it . :)

When is she coming home BK? Or is she going to do rehab first to get those bad old vertebrae back in gear again?

shes in rehab now and will be there for approx 2 weeks... between training/working a new guy ( for what I do) and the 2X a day visits to the wifey... im getting tired... :)

Can anyone tell me why the hell someone wants to turn on lights and take two vials of blood from a sleeping patient at..... 3:47am!?!?!

I wanna go home :(


ETA: I must be getting better if I'm complaining...right? :lol:
I'm sorry Robin! It's just how the hospital works. Get those lab values before the rounding Drs arrive. It's cruel though.

But it does make you want to go home, and I sometimes think that's the larger purpose.

I'm so glad you're doing well! How's your pain? Scale of 0/10? Lol

Gentle hugs and speedy digestive recovery vibes coming your way..

Pain scale depends on position and time of day. So far today.....highest being 5 (getting out of bed) Right now just sitting in a chair...0. Walking...about a 2.5. Last pain med was at 11:00pm. 50mg Demerol through IV.

I've had a BM last night (I know TMI) so things are waking up inside. Good thing, right? :laugh:

Not sure how they measure the Demerol. But it's 50 something. I wanted 25. Doc wanted to give me 75. I thought I was going to only have 25 but I guess we compromised at 50. I sure didn't have much say. Lol. So whatever measurement they use is what I meant. I only know mg because of nic. I'm soooo not a medical term type person. I forget the terms as soon as doctors or nurses leave the room. :blink:

Honestly April, I think because I refuse any pain meds until I absolutely have no choice, helps me heal faster. I don't know if that makes any sense but it works for me and my body.

It's mg and that's a good dose. 25 doesn't do much (in my experience with post op pts). I prefer to push fentanyl seems like it lasts longer. I'm surprised you didn't get a PCA. Or did you and it's been d/c?

Anyway.. Whatever it takes to keep you comfy enough to get up and moving and sleep thru all the hospital buzz at night.
