Thank your lucky stars your block worked. I was also given a block, but it took too low (from just below the knee to my foot). When I came out of surgery I could feel everything. And I am allergic to 90% of pain medication, the type I am not allergic to isn't effective for acute pain you experience after an op. The 72 hours after my op is easily the worst 72 hours I have ever experienced in my life.

Seems like you've been having a real torrid time of it. Sorry about that. Thankfully I have so far not had much pain, even the break itself was sore but not excruciatingly so. I was even debating the paramedic about the need for morphine, which I only took since they planned to splint the leg, and I was unsure if it would hurt or not.

I was convinced I merely sprained my ankle. Turns out it was much worse.

Ag ja, it happens haha.

Anyway, sterkte there - you're on the mend now. Just don't be a hero, take your pain meds before it starts to hurt. Once the pain breaks through it's very hard to control.

Oh and milk your injury while you have it ???? people only feel sorry for you for the first while, take advantage!

But sterkte! The first two weeks post op is the worst, after that things get alot better quickly (in terms of pain and discomfort anyway). You're at least on the other side of it now and on the mend.

you allergic to tequila?

As I read this I hit the pompie and took a Ketamine hit...

I was wondering what's the point if I feel nothing. Now I have an answer. Thanks.

That's what you get for inviting tequila to the braai with your good mates beer and wine. Tequila is a one-pony trick ????????

At least you learn to speak Spanish in one evening
