Lower-unit problems

[Frankhanhart]

Today I was scheduled for a knee-operation, woke up at 05.30 got wheeled out to the operating room at 08.30, got zapped into oblivion at 08.40, woke up at 09.15 talking gibberish. Wife picked me up at 12.15 (still full of painkillers and after I had proven that the old impeller still worked well) and brought crutches. This afternoon I thought that they used the old rusty chisel on the inside of my knee, of corse the cat jumped on it and my daughter dropped her purse on it (slipped off her shoulder). Felt like acting in some slapstick!!! I'm now sloshed with 4 glasses of wine and feel like I could do the highjump (6ft) easily. Will probably pay for it toworrow. I'm of course eagerly awaiting all your (preferrably cinical and non-serious) get well wishes. Don't feel sorry for me (great wine this is!!!) and lay it on guys !!!<br />Love you all (hic)<br />Frank

I did that to Mrs. QC after her knee surgery. Hey, she asked for her purse and I set it down on the biggest thing near her . . . <br /><br />If you can crawl over here we'll give you a bite of Turkey if that'll make you feel any better. I have some more wine too . . .

Re: Lower-unit problems

On them nights that get too rough from the pain, (of knee surgery back surgery neck surgery and having my chest cracked open and having half a dozen Drs. crawling around in there with track shoes on) I have ocasionaly been known to acedentaly have a shot of Jack Daniels with the pain killer. (Be careful) but the end results get me to sleep. HAVE HAD THE KNEE SURGERY TOO. It will be allright in a few days. Keep the load off,let the da-- thing heal. then your good to go.<br /> have a goodun lwr

Hi Frank and best wishes for a speedy recovery. Knee surgery can be pretty painful......well it was the way I used to do it It was only after six or seven operations that a nurse pointed out I was holding the workshop manual (oem) upside down, hence the saying "you don't know your a$$ from your elbow". I replied that I thought elbow was a Spanish archer. <br />A favourite trick is to place a small object (a shirt button will do nicely) under the skin. This gives the patient something else to worry about and takes their mind off the excruciating pain. <br /><br />Anyway just remember it's only pain and it's only caused by the fact that surgery is carried out by trainees: qualified surgeons are too busy playing golf/the stockmarket/with their secretary/in their mercedes to be interested in chiselling into manky old knees (that is when you can you actually locate the knee, I know I had major problems and ended up often reciting the song "the foot bones connected to the leg bone, the leg bones connected to the....")<br /><br />And a word of caution: painkillers and booze don't mix; you don't want to end up being a doctor do you

Frank - <br /><br />I have found that the self-medication really doesn't kill the pain - <br /><br />It still hurts like hell, but you don't care!<br /><br />Good luck & speedy recovery!
