Hmm... well this is not gonna be a pretty one ..After a head on collision ..And the leg got broke... in order not lose
any more leg length .. It was decided , my spiral fracture ,Had to be set with a external fixator . To keep the leg inline
Which was not clearly described to me that for 8 months would have three ten inch rods stuck through the bone above and below the fracture . And two more rods that attached the two sets together outside ,each side of the leg.
Anesthesiologist must of decided to turn of the IV of knock out meds before the fourth rod had been drilled through .
Was surreal to wake up with a tube in my mouth down my throat . With Doctors yelling at me dont pull the tube out of your mouth.. And stay still. GIVE ME A BREAK ! anyway was strapped down to OR table . And they continued to drill and insert another rod..And I started screaming .. And they said be quiet...OMG , the crazies are doing surgery .
I cannot stop yelling .. they start increasing the morphine .. After conciousness, did little for the pain..Slipped in and out of consciousness , every few seconds ..screaming then queit ..but During intermittant consciousness was in a instant dream state back and forth..similiar to a dream of flying a biplane in the clouds . But shocking back to conciousness
from pain....That was surreal too. Apparently finally lost conciousness after moving to the recovery room. Some 8 months later. They did a much better job of putting me under to remove them. Almost 5 months more still in a Walker.
Dtart to practice learning to Walk independantly again , with much long physical therapy ...hmm. maybe I got an excuse , TO NOT be trusting of doctors
