get well soon! the next few days might be painful but those who do with dr guichet are given sufficent painkillrs so theres no pain
how much doess this cost bro?
Good luck man its great to hear from a Guichet patient. Will you keep us updated on your recovery?
The guys. So tired. Gonna try to bike again soon and crutches to bathroom. Pain is a 1/10 when I sit still, 4-5/10 when I move. But I'm due for pain meds and on nothing right now. And NO CATHETER! Must've been taken out before I came to lol
Just went to the bathroom on my own using crutches and washed my face. Then did the bike a second time for 40 minutes. I've had no pain killers since around 2pm (it's almost 8 now), but only painful when I have to move my legs (4-6/10 pain). In a bit I'm gonna go to the bathroom again to brush my teeth and floss lol
badass yellowspike.

Thanks man. I have to be. I'm psyching myself out and pushing myself constantly for my mental well-being. Maybe I can even skip over using the walker...would be awesome if I could.
Going to the bathroom and bending was painful, but instead of "OMG this hurts!" I just kept repeating that pain is pain and that I could do it.
Quote from: kieran19801980 on December 15, 2014, 11:10:17 AMHi, I am trying to contact the clinic to arrange a consultation. I got one email about a month ago, one day after enquiring but not received an email the second time after asking for a consultation. I tried ringing them but it goes to voicemail. I was wondering which is the best way to book a consulation?
The only advice I can say is to just hang in there, he will get to his emails eventually. I'm also trying to arrange for a consultation with Dr. Guichet and the email back and forth is sporadic, too. Sometimes it's an immediate response, sometimes it takes him over a week. I suppose that it's just the tempo of how things are done in Europe.
In Guichet's own words, to me:
"I am sorry for the delay to answer your emails, but, as you understand, I always want to personally answer personally my patients personally, and this can take some time, because of my commitments."
Also, I would say it takes a bit of time before he warms up to you (I've noticed this, doing business with French people), which is totally understandable. I'm sure he gets a never-ending wave of newb emails everyday and it takes time for him to recognize which ones are sincere and which ones are "just browsing".
Remember when I said the pain wasn't bad? It is tonight! I can't piss in those bottles they give you for the life of me, so I had to crutch it to the bathroom again. OUCH. 8/10 this time. They just gave me some morphine so it's soothed it a bit.
I'm a little confused about how you had no pain at first? It was the same for me but thats because I had an epidural. The moment that came out... Geeze.
