I tell them everytime make sure you knock me out real good because I take pain meds 3 times a day.
3 our of 4 times I came too on the operating table, the one time I woke up and was telling the nurse's jokes.
The last time I came too, I looked at the guy who was druging me and said hey, I am awake, am I supposed to be awake???
He's looking at me right in the eye's and I say what the heck is that pounding??? LOL!!!
The doc was pounding the new hip in to place. HA! HA! HA! Good Luck.
I sure am glad that they had that sheet up, I probably would have passed out, had I seen my bone sticking out. LOL!!!
Good thing I very seldom take pain meds, can’t stand taking them. When I had one of my knees done only only had to take one pain pill and when they fused my low back I told him to pull the pain pump the day after the surgery because it didn’t hurt it was just sore. If I take any pain type med for more than 2-3 days I get insomnia. Last time it was about 60hrs, not good and I was ugly. I didn’t like me.. So hopefully I won’t need them....joe
