Rumba Rue Posted February 23, 2009 Author Posted February 23, 2009 First, thank you all for your prayers and well wishes! Came home from the hospital late Sunday afternoon. It hurts when I cough or sneeze and for some weird reason my right foot is swollen and totally numb, as are my left big toe and the one next to it also have some numbness. I'm told this is normal when having nerve surgery and it will go away. However, walking is totally strange when my foot is numb. I'm taking Percaset which is Oxyconone and Tylenol for pain and believe me, they knock me out for a while. The most remarkable thing is no more of the horrendous pain I had been going through for many months prior to surgery, just the pain from the surgery. I can tell I will be able to get my life back and being able to walk without pain in a few months. It's going to be a long recovery. I've got screws, plugs, a small rod, and a piece of cadaver bone in me now. Yup, I'll set off the airport security systems! Another good reason not to fly…. It was great to eat real food once I got home! Gawd hospital food is the worst….I couldn't even tell if it was chicken, turkey or some foreign substance that was going into me….it was just yucky! The hospital staff at Tri-City Hospital in Oceanside were terrific and friendly and no offense to them, I hope I never see again except in passing. My doctor has informed me I'll be able to do everything I use to do including riding horses when I'm all healed up…that's a good thing! So again, I thank all of you for your support and prayers, they have carried me through a difficult time. Hugs to all of you, Shari/Rumba

Sjöröveren Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 Glad you're out of the hospital and on the mend. Too bad about the lousy food. My dad was just in the hospital, and my sisters couldn't rave about the food in the cafeteria enough! A full turkey dinner with all the trimmings, as good as any home- cooked Thanksgiving, and only $3.50! So, if anyone is going to have surgery soon, make your way to St. Croix Falls, Wisconsin for a great meal! I've also got cadaver bone in me neck. We should start a club! the Fool's Gold Pirates
Black Syren Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 I have a Titanium rod with screws and nuts and bolts in my left femur, wee could have a club for that as well Oh and Rumba you prolly will not set off any security alarms, I have not done so as of yet and I even tried..was most disappointing. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v519/Dara286/trident01-11.png If you got a dream chase it, cause a dream won't chase you back...(Cody Johnson Till you Can't)
Capn Bob Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 My mother's a volunteer at Akron City Hospital (also a sometimes resident), and she always complains about the food. Worse'n mess hall food it be, and that's going some. don't hospitals know how important *good* food is for a successful recovery? When will they start serving patients hardtack and bully beef? Damn, thats sharp!
Capn Bob Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 I hope I'm the first to say this... Black Syren...got any screws loose? I have a Titanium rod with screws and nuts and bolts in my left femur, wee could have a club for that as well Oh and Rumba you prolly will not set off any security alarms, I have not done so as of yet and I even tried..was most disappointing. Damn, thats sharp!
