update:
So the 16 broken ribs and broken left scapula wouldn't even keep me from answering the bell for round 2.
Stomach staples are obnoxious and I'm more than a little sqeamish about them. I still haven't even looked down at them and keep them covered with gauze and a girdle 24/7. I made my parents remove the bathroom mirrors so I dont even catch a glimpse when I get hosed down in the shower at night.
This catheter is starting to get to me and I'm taking about 4mg of xanax a day to try to not think about it. Hopefully that and the staples come out September 1st.
The broken pelvis ain't so bad as long as I remember not to attempt to twist, I can get around with a walker and I can stand up straight without the walker no problem. I've listed myself as 6'2" my entire adult life but now I'm ringing it at a solid 6'3" so I'm definitely not complaining about that.
Besides catheter I'm still experiencing a pretty good amount of pain going down my L5 nerve group that runs from my broken pelvis down the outside of my left thigh and calf and then across the top of my foot to my big toe. Everything below the calf is still pretty constant pins and needles. I can lower all my left toes down but I can't raise my big toe up until it subsides.
As far as the pain meds, I think I've only had to take 3 5mg oxy's this week, usually when I get myself stuck in a recliner. I've been continue to substitute my scheduled tramadol for THC edibles or just going without. On just scheduled OTC tylenol for the pain and am taking gabapentin for the nerve pain.
I'm willing to bet I'm back running insurance appointments by this time next month. These German/Norwegian genetics I got pulsing through my veins are no joke.
Now the bad news for the thread. I went 0-2 last night trying to bet Bellator and I don't see any plays glaring at me on this UFC card tonight. I am gonna do my best to do a watch along stream, I ended up doing all my annual insurance certifications all week instead of setting myself up to stream, but I do have some buddies coming over today to visit that should be able to help me get set up.
Thank you for all of the support fellas! The man or beast that kills ol' hooter hasn't been born yet, and his momma is already dead.
