I was wrong

4 AM taught me that. Holy fuck. All the nerve block was gone and hydrocodone wasn't TOUCHING the pain. I'm like give me something!!! Toradol worked (actually non-narcotic but you have to be careful with the nephrotoxicity).

We have adjusted my meds. I finally saw the ortho resident at 930 at night (and again at 630 AM) but she didn't know anything. I had the NP look it up this morning. I was right, the stitches are against the bed so I need to change the way I get out of bed to stop pulling on them.

We also found conflicting orders. The surgeon has me weight bearing to tolerance the resident has me as non weight bearing. We're trying to get a clarification. So maybe I can go to the home for a week or so, get stronger then go home unless the surgeon changed his mind.

Right now I'm also asking for a med change. I don't want the full aspirin for blood thinning. It's ripping up my stomach. I will end up with a GI bleed. can we find something enteric coated. And thankfully I know what I'm talking about because I almost got the two norcos and two tylenol which would have been like 4 tylenol to the liver (norco has tylenol in it)
