At least they're prescribing vicodin. I might not care about playing drums or much of anything else...then again I have a high pain tolerance, so I might try playing drums as soon as I possibly can just to get things moving, which, is what they suggest these days - used to be they'd immobilize for a number of weeks, then use PT to get motion back...

Members mraia Posted November 29, 2006 Members Share Posted November 29, 2006 Very best of luck Kannibul3. Thoughts and prayers are with you for a speedy, painless recovery. Let us know as soon as you can how it went, although I would think it'll be a few days (weeks?) before you can type. Looking forward to hearing from you when your all healed up and ready to go! :wave: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best of luck!!! And, even when you're not feeling any of the pain....just be sure not to pick up your sticks too soon, and cause further damage/injury!!

Members WillyRay Posted November 29, 2006 Members Share Posted November 29, 2006 Here's what you do: Go in there, grab the doctor by the balls, look him in the face and say, "Now... we're not going to hurt each other, are we?" Good luck man! /w Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Old Steve Posted November 29, 2006 Members Share Posted November 29, 2006 Originally posted by aqualung211 Hope ya get a hot nurse. I had a hernia repaired about a year ago. As the major drugs were hitting me (I was supposedly "conscious", but so out of it that I had no real memory or pain or anything) I could feel the nurses prepping things "down there", including a nice shave. On some deep level, I was like "oh my, oh my, what are they up to", but then I was gone. Good luck kannibul. Do yourself a favor and be sure to ask the doc SPECIFICALLY what you should be doing rehab-wise (playing, not playing, etc.) and then follow his recommendations to the letter. Don't want any overly-enthusiastic re-injuries happening, and you want to be back asap! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ArtVandelay Posted November 29, 2006 Members Share Posted November 29, 2006 Originally posted by aqualung211 Hope ya get a hot nurse. Funny...EVERY time I've gone to the hospital (even with my wife around), I've ALWAYS thought, "I wonder if I'll get a hot nurse". It's NEVER happened. Ever. Hot nurses only exist on TV and in the movies. On another note, here's hoping everything goes smoothly for you, Kannibul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I usually end up with a male nurse that resembles Robin Williams, except, isn't funny. Now, once you get into the OR, then you might see a piece of eye-candy, but I'm pretty nearsighted, so I won't =/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
