I am home, tapping one-handed on keyboard. Pain is worse than anything I have ever had, including open heart surgery ! I am begging almost for my drugs ever 4 hours, and that's just not like me.
Surgeon said he did a good job, bones are all back where they should be, but he did have to put 4 pins in, they will have to come out . . .

thanks guys - painkillers are my best friend right now!
n miner, DH is givng me needles in the belly for a day or two - I am on warfarin (an anti-coagulant) and need the needles to "bridge" until my pill-type gets up to where it shoud be. They're not painful, but you should see the bruises.
Good luck with all this - so now the needles are over with and it's just the pins!:rolleyes:
Yikes, that is a bad break. Well at least the worst if over hopefully and take those drugs if you need them. Here's hoping the pain vanishes quickly. Take it easy for now, play games on the web so you just need a mouse hand.
Sorry to hear you're in a lot of pain, reno :( But don't worry, things will get better!! Day 4 after I broke my ribs was the most painful day of my life -- but then things started feeling better on Day 5 :)
If you need the painkillers, take them. That's what they're there for.
Hope you feel better soon :)
oh my gosh i just read your first post, i feel so bad for you. I wish you a speedy recovery and hopefully the pain becomes less each day of healing.
hugs

Oh dear, that doesn't sound like fun at all.
Perhaps try to use the the time in a positive manner by planning things to do around the house. Or more bone idol pursuits like surfing the Net. :)
