Tough Times Ahead - Prayer Posse Requested


Bama Red

Recommended Posts

Well, boys and girls, let Uncle Red tell you a story......

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

They work the living He!! out of you here!

 

There is usually both an OT and a PT session each morning, which are usually short - 1/2 to 1 hour. Then there are the afternoon sessions which are usually 1 1/2 to 2 hours long. I am told I'm doing very well and performing above expectations. They have given me a projected discharge date of 2Jun14 and I can't wait for that to get here!

 

Since the amputation I have been absolutely pain-free, as far as the infection related pain, which is why I had the amputation to begin with. There has been some very minor stump pain as well as some phantom pain, but all in all, it's been a very good experience. After the amputation, the sent the leg to pathology and I got the report yesterday. They found two strains of staph, some atherosclerosis in the arteries, and some of the infected tissue had turned gangrenous and necrotic. All in all, it was a very sick leg and would have had to come off very soon even if I hadn't already made the decision to do it.

 

Time for getting ready for morning therapy - gotta go bathe, brush my toof and comb my beard - ain't got no hair!

And I do wink at them every chance I get! ;) As for BMC, well, he'll just hafta handle his own set ups, so to speak. :wacko::blink::P

I thunk that Uncle Red is gonna need more RUM. Sounds like some kinda party he has going. Three nurses a day. He must be on some of those new performance drugs you hear so much about on TV.

 

REMEMBER THE FOUR HOUR RULE, UNCLE RED!

Well now I've laughed at a number of the posts and darn if it doesn't sound like Bama kept his sense of humor! :)

Buddy of mine had the same operation for the same reason and he asked the Doc how much that amputated leg weighed.

Said he'd bet a buddy of his he could take off at least five pound overnight and the darn fool took the bet.

Heck of a way to win a six pack. :o

Bama, let me pass along a trick complements of my beautiful bride. ;)

When she was whittled on, her Mama give her a walking stick, and that was a great help when rising from a sitting position.

If you're on the Porcelain Throne, for instance, and it don't have those handy hospital grab rails, that-there cripple stick can make rising less difficult.

On the other hand if I know so darn much why haven't I made that million dollars and retired, eh? :P

Blackwater, I'll rise, but I refuse to shine! :D

 

KK, thank yore bride for the tip (she must be the smart one in the family! :o ). As for the gorilla shoes, I'd wear 'em if'n they came in a size 14EE, but I'm bigger than most gorillas don'cha know! ;)

BMC, I see you've been in the Elixir again, ain't ya :blink::wacko: ? For the umpteenth time, its Bama Red, not Alabama Red, ya big galoot!!!! :D:lol:

 

I gotta quit hiding the Elixir in that big, ole box that says "Elixir Secret Hiding Place". For some reason, that just ain't working out too well! <_<

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

BTW, there really is an Alabama Red, and he's a member of my club! Small world, huh?

Mrs. Red has a number ten iron skillet and a heavy stainless rolling pin, hence the odd shape of our hero's head. (Don't say nothin' to Bama 'bout the shape of his head!! He doesn't know, and we don't talk about it!!) :rolleyes:;)

 

She can keep him in line when none of us would be able to. When they talk, Bama always has the last word. It's "Yes Ma'am!!"

Sounds like you get outta there today.

Great news, pard, I am grinning all over my face! (Might not see it for the beard but I am actually grinning!)

I was going to offer some free advice about having the pards send you a bunch of chock'lit candy so you could bribe those cute girls in Physical Therapy, but you're heading home so that's out.

Cookin' is better at home anyway! :P
