I asked to get up and sit in a chair first thing. I stayed up a little under an hour. I started to feel wiped out and dopey at that point. I decided the pain meds were doing me harm than good. As an added bonus they came injected me with blood thinners during the night. I wish I'd been prepared for that! He told me low dose Aspirin. Anyway, I was getting out of bed to go to the bathroom by mid day, but otherwise hanging out in bed.
Dr. B's physician’s assistant came to check on me. He, Mr. P, told me it went well. He even called it "one of the most straight forward surgical dislocations he'd been a part of." That's a huge deal for me, nothing about my orthopedic problems has ever been described as straight forward. He was very nice and said he'd swing by later because most people think of other questions.
Well, I don't know if he forgot me or if I was sleeping when he came back, but I didn't see him again. I can't believe I forgot to ask about the darn blood thinners that was my only question. That night when my nurse gave me the next one I asked if the dr ever gives injections in patient and then prescribed Aspirin out patient. She said no. (Huge toddler style tantrum). Anyway, I figure it'll all get cleared up tomorrow since it's supposed to me my last day.
