Seems like a lot has happened since yesterday, finally got a shower, got home last night, right in the middle of the USC/UCLA slaughter. Ever see an onside kick almost run back for a touchdown?

Anyway, I had all my "gear" delivered yesterday, went to bed early, slept about twelve hours, which is a little different than having them wake you up every two hours, or thirty minutes after falling asleep, whichever comes first.

Black and blue all up and down my leg, 27 staples in a neat little row. Vicodin and soma and 325MG asprim four times a day. This is the first time I have felt up to getting on line, not as comfy as in a hosp bed with that lunch tray and a laptop.

Need crutches for getting up and sitting down, BOWEL MOVEMENTS HAVE RETURNED; thank you very much. Oh, and it hurts, a constant dull pain, unless I bump something, which is when I yelp loudly. It is quite convienent to use the provided urnal in bed, since I have learned not to tip the contents when finished, (short learning curve)

Really hurts now, I should lie down.

Thanks for the comments and emails, appreciate it. LB

Leonard,

My dad recently had his knee replaced. He felt pretty bad for about a week or so (you're halfway there) then he started feeling better, pretty darn quick.

Now several months later, he says his knee hasn't felt so good since he was 19 "and broke the durn thing".

Get better,

Krusty

hey Leonard,

On the topic of that urinal... can you pee lying down? I can't count the number of male patients I took on long distance transfers in EMS who, at some point, had to urinate into a urinal. I can only recall a couple who were actually able to do it. Some of them had to go so bad their eyes were crossed when we got to the destination hospital, but they just couldn't convince their bladders to wet the bed. Funny thing. (At least, I guess it is if you're not the one that has to pee. [Smile]

)

Leonard,

That loud yelp sounds interesting, would you mind recording it and sending it to me. It just might work on these "easy" Texas coyotes. It sounds like it might go well with the moans and screams that I recorded when I had my first barium enema. Ah.... the joys of getting old.

Peeing while lying down was always difficult for me back in my more competitive days. Trying to sleep in the back of the camper and getting the "urge" fairly easy, compared to peeing into an empty coke can. We tried to keep the piss calls to a minimum while going and coming to hunting areas, which were hundreds of miles away, in some cases.

I guess I have learned a new trick? But, it is not as easy as you might think. Takes special concentration.

I have been taking the pills as directed and Nancy has turned into a Drill Sargeant, doesn't let me get away with anything.

It bothers me to sit in my recliner and at either computer, so I have spent all day in the bedroom......HELLO, WALLS! Little dinky TV, but not as small as at the hospital; could only see it with one eye closed. And, I don't like laptops, at all, but what's a guy to do?

I feel better, even though my leg is turning purple and yellow. Not much appetite, for some reason, since yesterday?

Well, that's up to speed on the home front, we'll catch ya later!

Good hunting. LB
