Good luck on your surgery. We all hope (good carma) everything works out great.
It did.
Whats outrageous is this.
Because the critical care floor they shipped me to after is dealing with 20 Covid patients and a elite nursing staff (Who were... beautiful. Expert and awesome when I threw a clot...)
They wanted me out ASAP. SO just Tylenol IV, no pain narcotics no nothing.
Friday night my body quit. Failed under 4000 mg of IV Tylenol. I did not have a leg to stand on either via the clot. And so on plus other problems that were rather immediate. Life ending problems.
3 hours later... we knew two things. Good Pain meds work well as always and I want out now. No more of this Tylenol BS.
They sent a Nurse to check on me each week, just saw her today. She said by the time they wrap this up with me in 2 weeks there will be nothing left to do with the work post surgery. Just need to confirm or refute the potential for liver scarring from over abuse of Tylenol.
NOTHING in that surgery went according to plan. Things got difficult in a hell of a hurry. WTF. Then I got angry. The only thing that saved the entire sad mess was my surgeon showing up at dawn on Saturday of all days and asked me "What can I do?" meaning what would I like him to do?
And so he proceeded to do it. In 4 hours it cleared everything up. There was no more clinical reason to stay. Home time. The big problem is simple. In Arkansas Doctors don't prescribe a pill of anything narcotic without getting a nastyletter from the state threatening their CDL, Or DEA Prescribing number etc. So the surgeon thought with me he could just skip the whole thing.
Not doing that again.
