I eat very clean. I was a 6'5 320 lb gym rat when the event that led to this happened. 255 now.ย A LOT of salads.

Thurs night was the surgery.ย I was up and walking on my own yesterday. Thurs nite was tough, I'll admit that..

Ouch! I took the Hydrocodone for medial meniscus tear surgery, but only for a day. The rest I have kept on hand for emergency use for the most severe pain I ever had, passing a kidney stone. I'll put it this way, a broken leg and complicating dislocated ankle used to be my 10 on the 1-10 scale. After a kidney stone going from the kidney to the bladder I downgraded the prior injury to a 7. Kidney stone passage (10) feels like you are doing that ritual Japanese hara-kiri. It makes you beg to just have an assistant lop off your head to stop the pain after about an hour.

Aย teeny tiny little stone that can make you bend over in pain and find a whole new set of swear words.ย Oh yeah !
And on that 1 to 10 pain scale with my left hip and left shoulder pain I reserve 9 and 10 for all out 5 alarm stuff. 9 you screaming and hope you're on the way to the hospital and 10 you're there.
Tuesday they upped my big time pain med and we'll see where it goes from there.ย I'm normally around a 7 and I'm no sissy when it comes to the pain game.ย
Old man pain stuff not for newbies.ย ย

LOL! At first they had me waiting in the waiting room in the ER. I told my wife that she needed to inform them that as a veteran I knew the symptoms of going into shock and that this was happening to me in the waiting room. So many nurses, orderlies and an MD came running out so fast that it made my head spin getting me on a gurney and back into a treatment room faster than you could say Jumpin' Jack Flash. Scared 'em big time, but it was the absolute truth of what they saw when they got there that scared 'em most. I wasn't BS'n even one little bit.

I shattered my ankle and lower leg in 1990. Have had 8 screws and a 10inch plate and a 3 inch pin in there ever since
It never bothers me. But when it happened they only gave ibuprofen. Nothing stronger. I guess I have a high tolerance for pain

Quick, uneventful.. I see him again tomorrow..
The last time after a skin cancer surgery my dermatologist stopped while doing the full body check, he looked up and said "Man, you sure are one scarred up old war horse aren't you".. Now I have 8 more stab wounds in my back..ย It's been a tough, but good life.

I have a very high tolerance for pain too, but I was willing to give up my first born to make that kidney stone pain pass.?

I'm in your club an extremely high natural pain toleranceย ย -but-ย ย a few will have you discovering new swear words you never knew before.......kidney stones and kidney infections are two.
I had gall bladder surgery in 2021 and it was no big deal my surgeon told my wife it was the worst GB she'd ever seen, it was ready to blow.
