I had an epidural too, but it was taken out after the surgery. So once it's effects wore off...last night was awful. They're gonna try to get me stronger pain meds.

Can they get you dilaudid? That stuff will put you where you want to be.

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.

Dude, stand up and try to piss. it is around the same, you have to try... touch ur dckie a bit, it will flow

They just got me OxyContin and Diazepam. And they're gonna give me a more potent but shorter lasting Oxy at lunch. I'll probably be here until Thursdsy.

I am relieved that someone is making a diary of Dr Guichet 2014, I, also will have my LL soon around 2015-16.
But the I'd like to know every stap you have taken to get to the surgery, if I may ask ?
How did you contact Dr Guichet and what did you include in your mail etc.

I'd appreciate if you took the time to help me,
Thanks for reading!

Yeah, ShyShy was back to 100% function within 9 months (his words).

As much as I love Dr. G....I am super jealous of you guys who had epidurals kept in the first few days. I have not, and so far, nothing seems to help with the pain. But when Dr. Guichet visited me earlier today, he said most of my pain is due to swelling caused by some broken blood vessels. They put some patches on my legs to help with that, but PT has been very hard so far.

I hope this damn swelling goes down because I want to do PT as much as I can.

Honestly, while epidural was nice to have for 2/3 days, once it came out it was a horrible shock.

Dilaudid was the real thing you should be jealous of. Idk why they aren't giving you that, but on the plus side you will be very toughened up for the rest of the first month!

This pain is getting old. I NEED this damn swelling to go down already!
