Was told that Hosp would manage pain but the painkillervi got at eleven has not kicked in. Gonna be a long night.
Hi, do you have a buzzer that you can call a nurse? They should be able to give you more by now. Please don't suffer in silence x
Keep pressing that buzzer. They will look after u. Hope ur ok pet.
You must call nurse and tell them- you can have orimorph very frequently
I used to shout as soon as effect wore off and they would bring me another dose
Don't suffer - no need

Yes!! I am here....
Hi Ian
How are you doing?
Had my first two hours kip of the night and now my 2 usual hours of being awake. Always some niggling little pain somewhere isn't there? In my ankle of all places tonight!
Just going to switch on TV or might watch Coronation
St on iPlayer as I missed it earlier
Had a good day today -seemed to be up and about most of day - tried a few tentative steps without crutches - not yet ready but haven't got that awful lurching limp anymore -just need time that's all
What have you been up to today?

Gave oxy contin. And it made me sick. Just panadol in the drip.
Got oramorph and 2 hours sleep interrupted by bp monitor an things on legs. Wide awake again as someone's bp monitor did a bit of wai!ing. Thank God for tablet and WiFi
good morning again ... good that you had some hours of sleep - and had a good pee by now ...
thinking of you - warm hug

Hi Linda I think I over did it roo the family out in the car to Garstang by the river and the camera for the first time since the operation, it was very hot, 26 here in NW, but my left leg is getting so painful I can hardly get about now, I need to call the hospital and tell them whats going on, see if I can get it done sooner than wait too long..staying in today...
There was no wifi at the Vic in Blackpool but the TV was free, I read a lot and listen to the IPod with my v cool cans.
Hope you are well today. Ian.
Drugs working. Fell asleep there with TV on and feel almost human. Waiting for physio to get me out of bed now. My bum will be glad of a rest.lovely cup of coffee and gingernuts too.
good - happy to hear this - baby steps, darling ... baby steps - I sincerely hope that your physical therapist is nice ... I had one who could have worked in the army ... drill sergeant - following day I had an angel ...
both female ... let us know of your progress okay ...
